[Athen] FW: Specular/Speclenium Release 0.0.4

[Alice Anderson]

I see that the "Scripting Enabled" event in Seattle over the weekend  
had a session
<http://scriptingenabed.pbwiki.com/Scripting+Enabled+Seattle>
13:00 - 14:30 Session 2
	• Improving the usability of highly interactive sites and content  
rich sites -- Charles Chen and T.V. Raman
	• Accessibility testing of web applications with Specular and  
Selenium -- Eitan Isaacson
	• Hack and brainstorm and test and create and solve and investigate

I'll look forward to more from that event,
best,
alice
