This is the home page for the Sakai Roster tool. The Roster lists all members of a site (optionally by section or group), displays their photos, if available, and provides additional information about them depending on local institutional practices (e.g., email address, course enrollment status). The membership list also links to each user's individual My Workspace Profile.

1. Page Headings. You may want to consider making the page headings consistent, so they begin with an action verb, such as "View Roster" rather than "Site Roster." This will create consistency between headings, "View Roster," "View Pictures," etc. It will also degrade gracefully: Sakai > Site Roster > View Roster. This will be particularly helpful for persons with disabilities as they navigate across and within each page.
2. Column Order. You may also want to consider changing the column order for the Site Roster view, so that the left-hand most column contains "Name." This will make it easier for persons using adaptive technology to find and associate names with user ids and profile information.
3. Accessibility Tags. Remember to include <alt="person's name's image"> for the photo and <title="person's name's profile"> for the profile link so that screen reader users will be able to diffentiate between persons. These are just a couple of things to keep in mind; let me know if you want me to give you a complete review of accessibility considerations.

Also, this is a question for the larger community, but with the addition of the Roster tool, would it make more sense to 'move' or repurpose the Roster tool as the place where you would alter the participants already listed under Site Info? The Roster tool seems more logical a place to look at/update site participants.
