Accessibility Series

[Marta Rybczynska]

Hello Roger,
I'm preparing the digest for 6 May and would like to include the article. 
However, I'm missing the author list. Could you provide it?

BTW There's a 'Features' module in enzyme where I have put the current
edition of the article.

Thanks.
Marta
