Hi Kitzzy,

I am working on an evaluation of web evaluation tools for ITTATC
(Information Technology Technical Assistance and Training Center,
www.ittatc.org, Georgia Tech) which is funded by NIDR in support of Section
508 and 255. The evaluation will be completed in the middle of May and be on
my site and on the ITTATC site soon after that. It includes a discussion of
what can be tested by software and what requires human evaluation for the
Section 508 provisions. A report on two tools and an early draft of that
testing write up is available at http://jimthatcher.com/er2.htm. These
sources may help in your very interesting enterprise.
