      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Confluence does not current meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WAI-WCAG). In order for a growing number of governments to make use of Confluence, it would need to meet at least priority A and preferably priority AA of the standards.

      The list of countries in which this is a requirement is growing, and includes:

      1. The Australian government
      2. The Canadian government
      3. The German government

      That list will presumably include the US government after the upcoming section 508 review.
