Update on CK Editor accessibility checker
Brock University asked Longsight to do the work and here's Matthew Jones' result http://www.screencast.com/t/ECnEpgnjUh Currently in pre-production at Brock University, to be deployed Thursday.
Working on installation instructions https://docs.google.com/document/d/127iux3d9qjvOS64M3MkVRymBLOi42Vf4JcSHYSoRjC8/edit?usp=sharing

CK Editor Accessibility Checker Next Steps
Matt Clare to post the copy he received from CKSource on July 23, 2015. The license file is available in a11ychecker/LICENSE.md. Likely on a Brock University web page (Sir. Isaac Brock has a better reputation than I).
We'll refine the installation instructions https://docs.google.com/document/d/127iux3d9qjvOS64M3MkVRymBLOi42Vf4JcSHYSoRjC8/edit?usp=sharing and post in Confluence.
Once in Confluence either those instructions or a refrence to them will be added to the Sakai README once Apereo licensing give the OK.

Looking forward to:

Morpheus testing to start soon. It will be REALLY easy.

In two weeks we'll review the accessibility of one issue together.
