<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Speaking as one of the developers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Xpert is a side project off from the online version of xerte, not the desktop version. Its independent of any of the xerte code, it could quite happily live without it if it wanted too. That project has to meet a deadline at for the 1st of september.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Translation wise, I think there might be a dutch one in progress.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>What about the future of developement and support? - The support is this list, and the possibility of a conference later in the year. Development will be answer lower down.</FONT></DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV dir=ltr><BR>How long is the project going on? - It's already 4 years old (approximately), and at the moment there are no plans to end it, or even thinking about ending it.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Is there a support if the project ends? I don't see it ending. This list is hosted by the University of Nottingham, but there is a wiki and a ning site available for people to use. There is a pretty substantial community of users out there.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>What is the roadmap for further developments? - The development of the desktop version is towards an AS3 version, the online version has a version 1.5 due later in the summer. There isn't a roadmap directly.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
