Hi Brad
sorry that you are waiting for responses to a number of questions and
welcome! 
At the moment we're a relatively small but dedicated developer community and
everyone juggles this with other work so sometimes it can seem very quiet.
It's a busy time with all sorts going on, including the move to Apereo that
Julian has mentioned, so the developer questions here and on github may take
a while for people to reply.

The develop code is very much beta at the moment largely because of the new
editor work. Most of it works but there are known and no doubt unknown
issues so it depends on what page types you need to use and what you need to
achieve. My advice would be to use the 2.1 code for real projects and test
stuff with the develop branch if you want to do more with multiple images
etc. As you clearly know code there's not much you can't do with the 2.1
code and some html/css/js etc and the main focus of the develop branch work
at the moment is the new non-flash editor and making it easier for
non-specialists non-coders by providing a wysiwyg editor.

All that said we'll certainly welcome your contribution to testing the
develop branch and even better helping to fix the issues but do also respond
to julian about the Apereo agreement etc.

HTH
Ron

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Xerte-develop in production?

Is anyone using the latest xerte code to create production courseware? I
don't need to worry too much about supporting people other than myself right
now, but I do need to be able to expect it to produce usable SCORM (or
whatever) content that I can host in Moodle. Roughly how much pain am I
signing up for if I try doing this in the develop branch, and if it falls
apart should I be able to migrate my projects back to the old version?

Thanks!
-Brad
