<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>We have version 0.9 of toolkits scheduled for 30th November or thereabouts. Can we work to put this code in that build so it can be tested more widely? We could do with some help testing the incremental changes we make over the next few weeks if people have a bit of time to put in to help (between 24th - 30th November). We would very much like to get this running well next to Moodle, and have a longer term aim to integrate the two systems, and ultimately other systems too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Authentication is an issue we need community help with, and we're looking to the community very much to help develop alternatives to our flavour of LDAP, or develop a solution that would allow a variety of authentication systems to easily work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Version 1.0 is scheduled for Jan 29th, when we should have a set of files you can be happy taking to your server people to set up, and, with a bit of luck, supporting info / documentation too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The release candidate of the general purpose 'pageTemplates.xtp' is in the current Xerte build, which I updated today. This adds a few new page types, and fixes the youtube bug. This will be the version of the general purpose toolkits project that goes into the 0.9 and 1.0 versions of the toolkits server files, and again, comments would be timely.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a lot of momentum building around toolkits right now, and I just wanted to say 'thanks' to everyone that's helped in getting us this far with this beta - every comment is very helpful.</FONT></DIV>
