people want to add a database abstraction layer and support for numerous
authentication systems, that is great. We can help with information and give you
some pointers. But we do need to be clear about where this is going - up until
now, you, the community have asked, and we, the Xerte Project team have
delivered. Usually very quickly, and mostly we’ve said ‘thanks for the feedback’
along the way. That has got us into a really good position.

is not possible for us, paid for by the Univesity of Nottingham, to spend our
time building tools that only you, the University of Somewhere Else needs. That
sounds to me entirely reasonable. If you need Xerte or Toolkits to do something
specific for your institution or organisation, then there is an expectation that
you’ll come to the party with some technical time and skill to contribute.
Open-source is a two way street after all. I’ll happily add any items you want
to a road map - we will need people to put their hands up to take on some of the
development work though.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

University of Nottingham have sunk a lot of money into this so far and it is a
key part of our elearning strategy. The Xpert Project is to develop a repository
that will sit alongside Xerte Online Toolkits – it is that project that will
complete in September. Beyond that we anticipate at least another year of
refinements, and will be doing more to promote the tools to the outside world,
and to develop the communiuty of users to the point where the software would be
sustainable, even if the UoN went for a ball of chalk. Right now the software is
gaining the UoN much i) kudos and ii) funding, so it’s unlikely to go anywhere
in the near future.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">The
long term future of the software will lie with the open-source community around
it. I imagine key developers from the Xerte project team would remain members of
that community and continue to play an active role. There are already a number
of key stakeholders from other institutions and organisations. It is hoped that
people like yourself, that have a stake in the project’s sutainability,
that use and like using the software, will play a part in helping to sustain it
into the future.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
