Is there a way in Xerte of presenting formatted

Element Present how and when
There is a particular reason for this, in that the colours come from a 'fire triangle' diagram (such as http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Fire_triangle.svg/1175px-Fire_triangle.svg.png) so text references to heat/fuel/oxygen need to be in consistent colours. I know that there's a limited subset of HTML tags usable in a Xerte page, which doesn't include or
. I suspect that I'd need to draw the table in a graphics editor and import it, but a minor disadvantage of that is that any future edits would require access to the image source file and expertise in a bitmap/vector editor.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the project - as you know, The University of Nottingham has led the developments over the years. Over the last few years, with increasing contributions from a growing community of developers it is fair to say that Nottingham's contribution is now a much smaller percentage of the total than it once was. This reflects the growing volume of work, rather than a dwindling commitment on our part, and we remain dedicated to the project as an important platform for innovation, and for the creation and delivery of high quality content to learners here at the University. As the project has grown, we have turned to questions around its sustainability. We have spent a lot of time over the last eighteen months or so exploring various options: we know that sustainability is a key issue for those looking to adopt the technology in other organisations and we understand that the current situation raises some questions for potential adopters: there is a sense that the project has a single point of failure. As priorities have changed here at the University, and the shape of my team has changed over the years, we do have fewer resources to put into the project than we used to have. We also appreciate that the current situation makes it hard for the project to achieve its full potential. As the only open source tool in its class it really deserves to increase its reach into new sectors and to find ways to generate and use revenue. Also, as the developer community has grown, it is increasingly important to ensure that the project continues to develop within a rigorous framework. Over the last 18 months we have carefully explored all the options available to us, and we have chosen Apereo for its solid presence in educational technology and its excellent cultural fit with The Xerte Project. I'm really excited about this opportunity, and I'm really looking forward to working with Apereo through the incubation process. My thanks go to all our users, contributors and developers, without whom the project could not have reached this significant milestone.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the project ? as you know, The University of Nottingham has led the developments over the years. Over the last few years, with increasing contributions from a growing community of developers it is fair to say that Nottingham's contribution is now a much smaller percentage of the total than it once was. This reflects the growing volume of work, rather than a dwindling commitment on our part, and we remain dedicated to the project as an important platform for innovation, and for the creation and delivery of high quality content to learners here at the University. As the project has grown, we have turned to questions around its sustainability. We have spent a lot of time over the last eighteen months or so exploring various options: we know that sustainability is a key issue for those looking to adopt the technology in other organisations and we understand that the current situation raises some questions for potential adopters: there is a sense that the project has a single point of failure. As priorities have changed here at the University, and the shape of my team has changed over the years, we do have fewer resources to put into the project than we used to have. We also appreciate that the current situation makes it hard for the project to achieve its full potential. As the only open source tool in its class it really deserves to increase its reach into new sectors and to find ways to generate and use revenue. Also, as the developer community has grown, it is increasingly important to ensure that the project continues to develop within a rigorous framework. Over the last 18 months we have carefully explored all the options available to us, and we have chosen Apereo for its solid presence in educational technology and its excellent cultural fit with The Xerte Project. I?m really excited about this opportunity, and I?m really looking forward to working with Apereo through the incubation process.

We looked at, and discussed all the options, from commercialisation, selling it to a 3rd part, setting up a foundation or donating it to an existing foundation. The first two options were pretty quickly discounted, which left the various foundation options. Of the existing Foundations, we opened up some dialog with both Apache and Apereo and had very positive responses from both. We settled on Apereo for the cultural fit, and the emphasis on educational tools - we thought Apereo offered the greatest opportunities for the project in terms of growing the user and developer communities which in turn provide the greatest opportunities for the software to continue to grow and develop, so don't worry: this genuinely is a really exciting opportunity!

That's for the respective communities to determine - and resource if they believe it desirable. That being said, the presence of Sakai, OpenCast Matterhorn, the Apereo Open Academic Environment, the incubating Karuta ePortfolio solution and others under a common umbrella offers an opportunity for conversations we hope all projects will take advantage of. Apereo is growing a series of cross-project thematic conversations that might be of interest to Xerte users, including a learning analytics initiative in partnership with SOLAR - the Society for Learning Analytics Research. On the specifics of "adding things in" to Sakai - Sakai is the first learning environment to offer support for IMS Learning Tools Interoperability v2, in addition to providing a number of other open interfaces. There are a number of external tools integrated with Sakai. If you'd like to know more, the Sakai mailing lists are a good place to start. There's a pointer to them from the Sakai contact page - https://www.sakaiproject.org/contact Ian -- Ian Dolphin Executive Director, Apereo Foundation ian.dolphin at apereo.org On 24 Sep 2014, at 13:35, Pat L (pgogy) wrote: > From experience Sakai isn't great for adding things in? > Is there a good way to do it? > > On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 12:12 PM, robb wrote: > > Hi Julian and Xerte list, > > Its a good thing the project is growing like it is. > > Just a quick question: Since apereo also has the sakai project under its wings, does it mean that XoT and Sakai will get closer together in terms of implementing XoT projects into Sakai ELO? > > regards, > robb > > Op 22-09-14 om 15:03 schreef Julian Tenney: >> Dear All, >> >> >> I am really excited to be able to announce that The Xerte Project has been accepted as an incubating project at The Apereo Foundation (https://www.apereo.org/).

I am in the process of installing a more stable test release. For now it's fixed again, and you can watch the result of your work :-) Tom Alistair McNaught schreef op 26-9-2014 15:59: Hi I?ve been trying out the new editor today and whilst I?ve had lots of fun creating the page I don?t seem to be able to view it.

Just a quick question: Since apereo also has the sakai project under its wings, does it mean that XoT and Sakai will get closer together in terms of implementing XoT projects into Sakai ELO? regards, robb Op 22-09-14 om 15:03 schreef Julian Tenney: Dear All, ? I am really excited to be able to announce that The Xerte Project has been accepted as an incubating project at The Apereo Foundation (https://www.apereo.org/). This is a fantastic opportunity for the project as you know, The University of Nottingham has led the developments over the years. Over the last few years, with increasing contributions from a growing community of developers it is fair to say that Nottingham's contribution is now a much smaller percentage of the total than it once was. This reflects the growing volume of work, rather than a dwindling commitment on our part, and we remain dedicated to the project as an important platform for innovation, and for the creation and delivery of high quality content to learners here at the University. ? As the project has grown, we have turned to questions around its sustainability. We have spent a lot of time over the last eighteen months or so exploring various options: we know that sustainability is a key issue for those looking to adopt the technology in other organisations and we understand that the current situation raises some questions for potential adopters: there is a sense that the project has a single point of failure. As priorities have changed here at the University, and the shape of my team has changed over the years, we do have fewer resources to put into the project than we used to have. We also appreciate that the current situation makes it hard for the project to achieve its full potential. As the only open source tool in its class it really deserves to increase its reach into new sectors and to find ways to generate and use revenue. Also, as the developer community has grown, it is increasingly important to ensure that the project continues to develop within a rigorous framework. ? Over the last 18 months we have carefully explored all the options available to us, and we have chosen Apereo for its solid presence in educational technology and its excellent cultural fit with The Xerte Project. I m really excited about this opportunity, and I m really looking forward to working with Apereo through the incubation process. ? My thanks go to all our users, contributors and developers, without whom the project could not have reached this significant milestone. ? Julian ? ?
