[Xerte-dev] Re: v2 User Notes

[Tom Reijnders]

These are only suggestions. Not sure whether you want these kinds of 
thing in there as well.

- User management in management.php if you use Db
- Language Packs installable through management.php
- Math
- Enhanced SCORM tracking (by just exporting, no need to change the LO 
settings, more then 1 quiz, time spent in each page)
