The question I am asking is whether the day has come to sever the link between the two pieces of software. We have to at some point. I want to get to a place where the two svns are not dependent on each other. If files are used in both repositories, they should be duplicated, so that the toolkits version of, say, the xmlengine can develop as it needs to, and the xerte version can do whatever it needs to as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I’d be happy to do that today to be honest.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> xerte-dev-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-dev-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Smith, John<br><b>Sent:</b> 06 November 2012 09:58<br><b>To:</b> For Xerte technical developers<br><b>Subject:</b> [Xerte-dev] Re: Stilla bit confused about how to add new properties<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>HI Julian<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='color:#1F497D'>I think if more was made of the fact that XOT can almost be a stand alone application using XAMPP then there would be no need for Xerte.
