The new OPAC VPAT/ACR is now on the wiki, and the PDF is in the main site's WordPress media library: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=accessibility:vpat It's very, very good compared to the 3.11 one. Tons of progress has been made! Some other things we might be able to mention: * PINES has done a bunch of cleanup work on 3.14 since this report was done * PINES (really Terran) is working on an updated KPAC, which will be an accessibility improvement * Equinox is about to start another round of OPAC accessibility work On the staff side, we've tackled most of the largest and oldest issues. Andrea and I have some stats we can pull together.

This is really great to see and once we get the press release pulled together I want to distribute it broadly on Bluesky, Reddit, LInkedIn as well using our community media - email list, website.
