Accessibility evaluation tool WAVE

[Eli Cochran]

I just got an email from Berkeley Web Accessibility Group pointing me  
to WAVE, a tool published by WebAIM which does an automated site  
accessibility report, similar to the W3C validation tools.

http://wave.webaim.org/

They have also released a Firefox plug-in that allows for local  
evaluations, nothing sent to the server.

I briefly messed about with the plug-in and it seems useful. Perhaps  
someone with more experience with accessibility can do a more thorough  
evaluation.

Before today, I hadn't heard of WebAIM. Anyone have an opinion about  
this group in general? Should we be linking to them? Working with them?
