[Qgis-user] QGIS 508 / EEN 301 549 Accessibility Documentation - VPAT/WCAG

Tue May 31 09:04:55 PDT 2022

Hi QGIS Community,
A number of years ago, there was an effort to complete the Section 508/EEN 301 549 Accessibility Conformance documentation (i.e. Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)) for QGIS; is there a part of the developer/tech support community interested in completing these?

My thought is if there may be some Computer Science or Geo students where their program covers testing and conformance as a part of their developer program curriculum, then they could use QGIS testing and reporting as a part of a class project?  A long term relationship with that University could make regular updates sustainable.

There is lots of good information and resources, including the Template here<https://www.section508.gov/> < Home | Section508.gov<https://www.section508.gov/>>.  The last time I posted, the message was held up by moderator approval, hopefully this time my message can reach you all.

Having compliance reports adds to QGIS and other open source software increased legitimacy and would allow the use by more governmental organization that need to meet their procurement requirements.  Other thoughts, ideals or volunteers to lead a working group??  Thanks for the consideration.

Best regards,

Robert
