6. Disproportionate burden
Kiwi was launched in 2011. In June, 2020, it contained over 30,000 pages and thousands of attachments. Not all content creators are National Library staff. It is beyond the National Library to check and correct all pages and attachments. The National Library shall promptly address shortcomings as they are noticed.
Some problems are caused by the software that Kiwi is running on, called Atlassian. It is a product of Atlassian Corporation Plc, of Australia. The National Library cannot address these problems on her own initiative. According to information obtained in June, 2020, Atlassian Corporation was in the process of making sure that its products will fulfil the AA requirements of the WCAG 2.0.
