Web accessibility is a major concern for governmental organisations and companies concerned with making their content accessible to everyone. In 2011, TYPO3 has made huge steps forward in this regard, thanks to funding from the Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung, a German governmental agency. This Case Study on the new Government Package shows the concepts of Web Accessibility and provides information how you can benefit from this project in general.
