EASIT4ALL
Description
The EASIT4ALL project aims to provide to any person independently of its disability an accessible way
to use main functionalities of social networks. Thus, Easit4all solution consits of a web interface that merges in a
simple and intuitive way different social networks. Additionally, the tool provides a set of plugins
that makes it more usable and accessible for the final users (e.g. most common operations or self-configuration of visual features).
The ultimate objective of the tool is the auto-configuration of the application accessible features to the user needs.
This functionality will be provided thanks to the GPII/Cloud4all framework.
The official website is available at http://www.easit4all.com
