iMP: accessibility, is the smell really that bad?
Does anyone have links to positive reports on the accessibility of iMP?
According to: http://cms.elfden.co.uk/2005/10/18/bbc-imp-trial-part-1/
"Accessibility wise it stinks. No keyboard access what so ever....."
Who is responsible for accessibility at iMP and which groups
representing people with disabilities were invited to comment?
Could this be an integral part of the BBC's regular best practice?
cheers!

I also suggested that BBC Weather was not accessible when it changed

Whatever... compare and contrast these two.

As for keyboard access, a fellow freelancer works with a mouse only
since he cannot use a keyboard at all.
