[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 508 compliance

[Mike Rylander]

Edward,

The code at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1268636
(sponsored by Natural Resources Canada, developed by Bill Erickson at
Equinox Software) will bring AA-level WCAG compliance to the OPAC in
2.6, which is scheduled for release some time in the next 6 weeks or
so.  A quick google search suggests* that this will cover Section 508
pretty much completely, but IANAL, and 508 is a legal issue, not a
technology one.
