[Fwd: Open Document Format (ODF) Accessibility Testing Tool]
Greetings,

I've just been informed (see attachment) that a group of students at the 
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed an ODF 
Accessibility Evaluation tool.  Dr. Jon Gunderson (who probably led this 
student effort) is one of the key players in Web accessibility, and 
brought me the news.  See http://odf.cita.uiuc.edu/

You can also read my write-up of this at 
http://blogs.sun.com/korn/date/20061208

Looks like we now have a tool we should be using for our own ODF files.  
The current draft of the ODF Accessibility Guidelines has a number of 
failures... (I'll be tending to those in the next revision).
