[ATcoord] VPAT repository

[Kukuk, Jacob]

Interested, question now is whom is the owner and would take the financial responsibility to this? Even if an asset is free some cost is associated to it via hours worked to manage permissions or a physical asset like a server, would the state agency taking on the repository be willing to take on a state wide multi agency asset or should everyone be added as a manager and the management cost be shared?

Hello,



Someone just shared this resource with me on library accessibility. What I find particularly interesting is the VPAT repository (http://uniaccessig.org/lua/vpat-repository/).



In my Accessibility 101 training I have an extra credit assignment where participants track down the VPATs for the software that they use. I could start building a list from their submissions and invite others to contribute if you all would be interested. I wouldn't want to make it public until we can get vendor permission - as they have on the LUA site.



This could be a nice way to avoid duplicating some of the effort and tracking what faculty are using (as that seems to be a challenge in some ways). Is this something any of you would be interested in participating in? I'm happy to get it started and contribute, but would prefer to not be alone in the effort. I would need assistance verifying that we have the most up to date VPAT and vendor approval to publish the list.



Jess
