[Xerte-dev] Re: Using Wordpress code in XOT

Fri Feb 22 09:35:20 GMT 2013

The more modular we get the more the code model moves towards a core / plugin type affair.

In theory the xerte part of XOT becomes a module now in a sort of learning object CMS. 

At that point the Notts Xerte development is still the biggest thing in core, and the reason for it, but hopefully  with loads of developers making things then the Notts side of things is more one module in a collection of lots.

Then I guess if John, myself and others are off breaking core it isn't really something Notts would be bothered about that much?

So there might be a point the roadmap / release cycle is managed differently

In my head, I see 2.1 as  a ’tidy up’ release, a chance to put a few things straight, and to build in some of this new developer oriented stuff.

I think we can include the actions and filters in v2.0 but they will be of limited functionality until the action triggers are incorporated into the current code not really sure how it fits in with Pat’s modularisation as there is crossover of functionality. Also, there is a lot to do before the easter release (even just what is in the Google Doc list). Just wondering whether we think we should branch off again and a 2.1 branch for future future development and use the current SVN to work towards the Easter release… I knkow Pat seems to embrace the uncertainty but I’m still cautious about overloading the main trunk with my potentially buggy code… ;-)
