Update on CK Editor accessibility checker
Brock University asked Longsight to do the work and here's Matthew Joes' result http://www.screencast.com/t/ECnEpgnjUh Currently in pre-production at Brock University.
Next step is describing how this can be reproduced by others, but we're in a holding pattern waiting for license clarity and for CKSource to publish the GPL2/3 version (though if you're interested, please ask CKSource)

Ready for review!
-If you've got 5 min run the WAVE toolbar (http://wave.webaim.org/ note the browser extension at the bottom) over page or and report issues it would help! This would certainly not be a comprehensive review, but it would help developers spot simple regressions and other low hanging fruit.
