The Simple imgur Blog Accessibility Statement Accessibility Statement This statement addresses three main areas of accessibility for Joomla: Sites produced using Joomla (front end and back end), and the Joomla.org site. Sites produced using Joomla Front end (website) We will provide a solution capable of delivering accessible websites that comply with WCAG 1.0 Priority 2 and Section 508 requirements by release 1.5 of Joomla. The Development Team focuses on front-end accessibility for the 1.x series of releases of Joomla. Please note that while Joomla will provide the ability to deliver WCAG compliant sites, many requirements depend on the template designers or content managers. Back end (admin) While we will incorporate as many accessibility "features" in the back-end as possible, the technical changes required to reach WCAG compliance at this point would involve an extensive re-write of the code. The back-end or administration area of a Joomla driven site is not a public area. Joomla.org Web site Current situation Future plans

About Us Who are we? LibreOffice is community-driven and developed software, and is a project of the not-for-profit organization, The Document Foundation. LibreOffice is developed by users who, just like you, believe in the principles of Free Software and in sharing their work with the world in non-restrictive ways. At the core of these principles are the four essential freedoms and the tenets of The Document Foundation's Next Decade Manifesto [pdf]. We believe that users should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software that we distribute. We seek to eliminate the digital divide and empower all as full citizens, support the preservation of mother tongues, and avoid proprietary software and format lock-in. Though the members of our community hail from many different backgrounds, we all value personal choice and transparency, which translates practically into wider compatibility, more utility, and no end-user lock-in to a single product.
