I am trying to determine if Lyx has a VPAT on file identifying an issues which
relate the US federal guidelines regarding 508 compliance, which is having
software be accessible by people with disabilities (e.g.; visual impairments).
Hello Gary,
no, LyX doesn't provide such files. We are an Open Source project and
therefore everyone can evaluate us without problems by testing our free
program and by looking into our source code.
We are also an international project and can therefore not fulfill all
recommendations of a certain governments. However, I see that the VPAT
is just a form with information about software:
http://www.state.gov/m/irm/impact/126343.htm
You can fill out this form if you like. Personally, to me the form is
not very useful since it is not clear what to write in and in which
form. What should be a level of support and how could this be
classified? For me the question is what is the benefit of this form? I
mean I can fill in many things but what does this help and why is this
important to have such a form?
regards Uwe
