[blindlaw] Sharepoint

[Tara Chavez]

I work for the federal government and our agency use SharePoint and I absolutely hate it! And I believe we’re using 365 now but it’s still awful.

I think back then they said that newer versions of share point  were accessible, but that the federal government was using an older version which was not accessible. It might depend on the version they are using. I recall that when I used to work for a nonprofit, we used SharePoint for a project, and I found it to be very unusable.
