Re: EOWG Reminder: Eval Tools List final review this week

Hi Jonathan & AnnaBelle,

we always use rel="nofollow" in W3C resources as far as I know and we 
also do it in the eval tools list:

* https://github.com/w3c/wai-eval-tools/blob/gh-pages/index.html#L122
* https://github.com/w3c/wai-eval-tools/blob/gh-pages/index.html#L128

The list is also created using JavaScript, so I guess there is little 
“oomph” to get :-)
