Regarding auto-updates, that would be nice, but I'm unsure how best to do it right now. Also, there are two sorts of updates, a whole system upgrade, and a models / templates update: that could maybe be automated more easily. But let's leave it for now. There will be another release once we have some HTML5 stuff later this year, and I'd like to get this one finished ASAP.

Hello,

I've got a WordPress module which does a half decent job of displaying
a http://simile.mit.edu timeline

It would be relatively trival to strip the code out and making a free
standing PHP class / creator.

With WordPress and Drupal, you can add new modules by using a
formatted text file in the modules, or plugins folder.

Would it make sense to remove, or allow for submission into
originaltemplatesdetails by basically looping over a folder? This way
it'd be simpler to add a module.

-------------------------------------

David / Tom - We could add a call to see if the SVN had updated as
part of the script? Would maybe help out on that front?

------------------------------------

The bigger issue, is that if I do this (and the above makes sense even
without adding new things) some stuff created in XOT isn't Xerte.

My thinking was I can write a moodle extension to do it, but that's a
lot of work.

Thoughts?

Pat
