Hello
I'm curious if anyone might know if Xymon has an Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). We are looking to get it approved for use, ,however this document may be needed.

Thank you, Kristopher Mallory
Henrik or JC would be in the the best position to answer this but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 508 compliance was not heavily considered during development. The page you linked to refers to "vendors" and "service to be sold"...Xymon is FOSS and not sold in the sense of the term on that page. I can also say with fairly high confidence that accessibility was not in it's charter either since many questions have surfaced over the years about color blind users (particularly the red/green variety). Many of us users have taken it upon ourselves to implement some of this functionality but it has generally been left as an exercise for the users. I'm sure the maintainers would welcome someone to provide that contribution (the themeability in general has been questioned many times as well).
This is a non-trivial undertaking...
