[Athen] Accessible flow chart tools

[Robert Spangler]

I think the question should be, accessible to what population?  For
instance, I'm blind and while Matchware says that MindView is "accessible,"
I am barely able to navigate it using NVDA in Chrome.  Furthermore, other
than navigating the app, I can't imagine how MindView would be made
accessible to blind people given its visual nature.  The whole idea is to
visualize the process of brainstorming.

Thanks,
Robert
