Not sure yet, we need to firm up the arrangements / schedule. How long would you want?

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been thinking through what would be the best way of presenting the Connector pages. I want to avoid a tour through the features of each page as this information would soon be forgotten and it is all available in the documentation I produced. I would prefer to look at the types of projects you can create as this will get people thinking more about how they might make use of the Connector pages.

 *   Standard sequential projects that make use of Connector pages but do not set up specific routes through a project.
 *   Projects that only contain Connector pages and hence have multiple routes through the project.
 *   Projects that mix ordinary pages and Connector pages but use the Connector pages to set up alternative routes through the project.

These projects tend to lend themselves to different Connector pages and present different issues to the Author.

I am thinking about half an hour should cover it if that is acceptable.

The target audience being Authors rather than Developers.

I noticed in the Meeting Agenda that the Connector pages are listing for Day 2. Whilst there are issues that would benefit from discussion in the Developer context such as the possible use of a historic back button and what options should the author have to enable /  disable navigation buttons this needs to be informed to some degree by the feelings of the authoring community and they have yet to get to grips with these page types.

Is it still intended that I present the Connector pages on Day one as part of the agenda that introduces the New Templates in XOT 1.8 as this only has Ron's name against it?

Kind regards

Johnathan

Are the rest of you alright to show your stuff as well? An indication of how long you might need would also be useful,

It would be good if you all register so that when we announce the event more widely, people will see that folk are interested!

Hello Julian,

I am happy to show people the connector pages.

Will this be on day 1 for the Author community?

How much time do you want me to take up - so I can plan my presentation?

Hope you had a wonderful break.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hiya,

I’ve decided to call the meeting we have in October “The second Xerte Project Annual General Meeting”, and have set up an eventbrite page to handle the registration: you guys can register now! Also, please pipe up with any comments before I publicise (with your help!) more widely.

http://xerteprojectagm.eventbrite.co.uk

I’m hoping you’ll all be able to contribute to the first day with demos of the recent work, so Johnathan, could you show the connectors, maybe Ron could do an overview of all the new templates, Alistair has said he will talk about accessibility, Tom, could you cover off internationalisation, and Fay can demo Xenith.

Pat, are you coming along? Maybe you can help with the internationalisation stuff?

Is that OK? Plans still a little embryonic, but good to start to publicise it,

Julian
