[Athen] Suggestions for accessibility review vendors?

[Jennifer Sutton]

Rachel and others:

Here's a document/database from WAI that's been 
being rebuilt, so the data about tools should be 
current. If folks have submissions, I encourage you to contribute:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/

In addition, here's a little set of posts I 
pulled together about automated testing tools. 
Note that they are by Karl Groves, who has just released Tenon out of beta.

Hope the links below my name prove helpful.

Best,
Jennifer
