It has a lot of advantages over the current version of Xerte, most notably a really nice WYSIWYG editor, but I would not recommend using it unless you’ve accepted the risk of encountering a show-stopping bug that you will may have to troubleshoot and fix yourself. If you are, I’d say give it a try and submit your fixes on github! :) I’m just about to complete my first project in Xerte3, and aside from having to spend time hunting down some annoying bugs (plus one big one that seems to break SCORM output in Moodle, which fortunately I don’t need), I like it. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>If you stick to Xerte2 (which, just to be clear, is what you should do if you aren’t a developer) my understanding is that unless you need to create custom learning object templates, you should use XOT, not Desktop.
