[CALUG] Plone Follow Up from Last Night's Meeting

[Robert Burgoyne]

I want to thank everyone for coming to last night's meeting, and thank 
Hewlett Packard for taking on the job of being our new host. Our April 
meeting will be at the same location.

Here's a follow-up on a couple of the questions raised.

Section 508 Usability Compliance
Plone Solutions of Norway, headed by Alexander Limi, one of the original 
developers of Plone, claims:

"Plone is known as the content management system that was engineered for 
accessibility from the very beginning, and it has continued to be the 
world leader in accessibility compliance. It was the first Content 
Management System to fulfill the criteria in the US Section 508 and the 
W3C's WAI-AA guidelines.

"Plone Solutions has played an important role in this work, and we 
extend our expertise to helping you make your site as accessible as 
possible."

Ukrainian Hotel with a Great Plone Website
Their website cuts the graphical elements across the top and left 
columns into smaller items in order to achieve a graphical image that 
spreads the full width across your browser, regardless of screen size. 
It also dices the left-most panel, or left slot, into different 
graphical image pieces as well.
