hello there

so navigating the hole site, i'm not still where should i begin to ask my question in drupal community

i'm a blind person, using a screenreader:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/
to work with computer and stuff.
the point is, my screenreader will navigate among the texts and will read it for me.

i'm beginning to make a website (mostly for forum/downloads/blog) and i'm trying to find a good CMS to work with.
for sure drupal is one of the best CMS out there, but i'm not really sure of its accessibility. that if i can create my website without drag and drop, and without facing with graphical interface buttons and such.

i'm wandering that if there was people like me have ever worked with drupal well?
or, is there any solutions, themes, modules, to make drupal accessible for me?
or, is drupal even a good choice for me to install?

any helps would be appreciated!

I would venture to say drupal is one of the most accessible CMS's out there. There are actually appointed maintainers for accessibility. Per the current MAINTAINERS.txt file:

Accessibility
- Everett Zufelt 'Everett Zufelt' http://drupal.org/user/406552
- Brandon Bowersox 'brandonojc' http://drupal.org/user/186415

Perhaps reach out to those folks via their contact form or irc.

hello

thanks for the user links, i should try and contact them.

that is cool to hear drupal is accessible to us, though starting out is a hard thing, it seems.

Will Drupal be a good CMS for accessibility?

Yes. Drupal core is very accessible. Contributed modules may need work however.
