On Nov 1, I attended a presentation by Hi Soft on Cynthia Says.
I gave out 10 quick-tips cards to people who were unfamiliar with WAI.
The presenter was Dana Louise Simberkoff.
Cynthia Says includes Section 508 checking:
section508.gov
They are the providers of this product, originally created by
Cynthia Waddell: cynthia.waddell@icdri.org
This group's meetings are inspiring.
P.J Gardner is the principal organizer of the Information Architects group.
"P.J. Gardner" <pjgardner@boston-ia.org>
I also met Dan Revellese, their director of corporate sales.
The Hisoft website is http://www.hisoftware.com
On that page is a list of organizations that use their product;
without automatic refreshes to update those organization's urls,
I had to move the cursor off the image to get the alt text on the
next one to update -- learned by experiment.
I received a booklet:
