Crawling with QUAIL

[mgifford]

I understand QUAIL to be primarily used as a real time editing review for user generated content.

However, are there any reasons why you couldn't use it to crawl a site (there must be a Mozilla Plugin for this) and record the errors for everything related to http://example.org

Yes, and as a matter of fact I'm working on how to use PhantomJS to do this
for QA and CI integration. Imagine a world where every patch on d.o is
assessed for accessibility....

This is what we were discussing at the Accessibility Sprint actually. Anything you come up with we're interested in looking at. Angie, Everett & I are quite keen on it.

Would be great to have you at the next sprint.

I think there's definitely momentum here.
