Hi everyone,
At Atlassian, our mission is to unleash the potential of every team and that starts with ensuring our forum is a welcoming, accessible, and inclusive space for all members.
Following our platform migration to Higher Logic Vanilla, we have officially refreshed our Atlassian Forums Accessibility Statement to reflect our updated technical standards, ongoing audit processes, and continuous improvements. Below is our full, updated statement.
What’s New & How We’re Approaching Accessibility
Our goal is to ensure everyone can easily discover knowledge, connect with peers, and share solutions. Here are a few key areas we are focusing on:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA Target: We strive to meet and exceed Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA across the forums experience.
- Full Keyboard Navigation: Ensuring all interactive elements, navigation flows, and discussion tools are fully operable without a mouse.
- Assistive Technology & Screen Readers: Leveraging structured semantic HTML, clear ARIA landmarks, and robust contrast ratios built into our theme foundation.
- Continuous Audits & Remediation: Benefiting from regular expert reviews with third-party accessibility specialists (Level Access) and ongoing platform updates to resolve identified barriers.
We Value Your Feedback
Accessibility is an ongoing journey, and your feedback helps us improve. If you encounter any barriers while navigating the forum, please let us know:
- Where to post: Drop a note on our forums bug thread.
- Helpful details to include:
- The page URL where you encountered the issue.
- A brief description of the barrier.
- The browser and assistive technology (e.g., NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) you were using.
Thank you for helping us make the Atlassian Forums a better place for everyone!
