Section 508, widely used beyond government, is a benchmark to allow us to assess how we do in this regard.
Yep. 508 compliance for software is considered simply good practice, even if you don't *have* to apply it.
Since the US gov already uses mediawiki, know we have some admins that use a screen reader, know mediawiki supports keyboard shortcuts, etc., then I think we do pretty well to meet 508 though an assessment might identify some additional bugs. I would totally support us doing a VPAT (its voluntary) assessment and have it available on mediawiki wiki.
