[Athen] sharepoint accessibility?

[Nick Ogrizovich]

Hello All,

I just had an interesting problem come up, regarding the accessibility of sharepoint sites. I've
never used it or seen it, but our school uses it on various domains. Am I right in my assumption
that any "access" issues are really going to be your basic web-acessibility checks?

Another person has chimed in, and suspects the problem might be due to credentials, since the user
might be trying to access a sharepoint site outside of their domain, which has its OWN sharepoint
site. I don't think that's an accessibility issue, more of a network problem.

Anything we should really know or watch out for, regarding sharepoint?
