Almost certainly not. And you would need to work out whether you are talking about Alfresco Share, Alfresco Explorer, the Mobile Apps or the repository itself.

Certainly some of the many thousands of apps built on alfresco will be WCAG compliant.

However there has been a lot of effort put into accessibility over the last few releases and its an ongoing priority. Whether the ultimate goal is WCAG or another standard I'm not sure.

Hi mrogers,

Thanks for the reply.

I will do a manual check and see whether Alfresco passes or fails in areas.

I'm surprised Alfresco HQ has not taken the time to put compliance of this standard in place, or at the very least tested for compliance so end users, like my employer, can know the rating achieved (A, AA, AAA or NONE).

Anyway thanks again.

Oliver
