      Hi all,

      Thanks for participating in this issue, either by voting, commented or just watching. We highly value your feedback in all forms, and through suggestions in jira.atlassian.com is not different. We use this channel often to learn the best we can with how customers use JIRA and how we can continue to improve the experience for as many users as possible.

      We have revisited this issue again recently and, while Atlassian is committed to Accessibility where possible, would like to state that there are currently no plans to implement complete 508 compliance within the next 12 months. This said, JIRA still has considerable coverage over many parts of the product in regards to 508 compliance, and this can be viewed publicly here.

      Please remember that jira.atlassian.com is one of many inputs for the JIRA roadmap. You can learn more about our process here.

      I understand that our decision may be disappointing. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

      Regards,

      Kerrod Williams

      There are various improvements we could make to JIRA's accessibility:

      Section 508 compliance is necessary for sales to the US federal government sector.
