Section 508 Compliance #316

Open nladkins opened 2 years ago

nladkins commented 2 years ago

The EPA's Office of Research and Development is using Clowder for multiple reasons.. More recently, we have been focused on releasing large data sets to the public. Clowder is a great solution for this. However, we have run into a hiccup. Clowder is not Section 508 "compliant" (or at least has not officially obtained it). The request is to see if there is a section 508 certification (or VPAT)? I am not knowledgeable on Section 508 in detail, so I am not sure what this entails. But it is becoming more critical for us as we are a federal agency that needs to have this in place to use it for the public.

Thank you.
