[Xerte-dev] Re: navigating to page name

[Kemp Johnathan]

 We’ll see

"Xerte is a fully-featured e-learning development environment for creating
rich interactivity. Xerte is aimed at developers of interactive content who
will create sophisticated content with some scripting, and Xerte can be
used to extend the capabilities of Xerte Online Toolkits with new tools for
content authors."

I can't help sharing a vision - I got it from a highly reputable source :-)
