[Ron Mitchell]

Welcome back Fay and have a great holiday John!

>From my perspective John and Tom have done fantastic work on the new editor Fay so do have a look when you can and I'm sure you'll be as impressed as I was when I first saw it. I've been slowly testing via my own copy and making notes which I need to find time to share via github at some point but I think once the editor and other developments are complete and part of a new release it will be another major milestone and the editor in particular and the refinements I can see that leading to will help win hearts and minds of at least some of those descentors out there - especially those who miss the point about our primary audience of non-specialists.

Cheers
Ron

Yes, aside from the code, there have been a few significant things happening since you have been off...

Thanks John

Tom's sent me the details for the test site, although I haven't had a chance to have a look yet.

I was only joking when I said not much had changed by the way, it seems at least from Nottingham's place in everything that things have moved on quite a lot.

Enjoy your holiday

Hi Fay,

Welcome back!! Hope you had a great time off with your new baby.

Well yes, there is a new editor (I'm sure Tom will be able to let you have details of his test server so that you can see what we did). It's still very much in beta but is mostly functional.

Other than that I don't think that there has been any major changes to anything really, mainly bugfixes etc. jQuery and MEjs we both updated to more recent versions so some page models had to be tweaked to account for some deprecation but these weren't major rewrites... probably taking a quick look through the fixed Github issues will give you some idea of other stuff thats been done...

Feel free to email me though if you have any questions :-) (Although i'm on holiday from later today for a week in Lake District and i'll be switching off all electronic devices!!)

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Hello

So there haven’t been any changes in the last year have there?
Not much going on?
4000+ emails most of which were from this mailing list! Blimey - I can’t say I’ll be reading them all.

So I’m not sure how much work I’ll be doing with Xerte stuff now I’m back but I thought I would say hello. Please be patient with me as if I am doing anything Xerte I think I’ve forgotten pretty much everything and might have lots of questions.

I take it some work on a new editor has been going on? Is there a demo anywhere I can have a play with? For no other reason than that I’m nosey ☺

Thanks
