[Xerte] Linux, Mac OS X platforms

[David Storey]

Perhaps a central repository for people to share their Xerte resources
(models, commands, templates, etc) would be a good starting point, testing
the water for if there is the appetite and support for going open source or
not.  Or even a Wiki would be a good start?

As I said, we're not against open source.

I thought Ed:IT launching on 10th March (School of Ed and Learning Team
Nottingham) were open source having produced tools for Moodle - the audio
recorder for example and various other tools are contributing to Moodle
development. Seems to me that you do a lot to support open source already.

No plans for Mac / Linux at the moment, I'm afraid. However, the file format
is open, and anyone can make their own editor for whatever platform they
like.

 

When I've done open source projects in the past, I have found it to be a one
way street. The promised legions of developers who would turn up and freely
give of their time to improve the code, fix all the bugs and write the
documentation never appeared. We have an open mind about open source - we're
not against it, but supporting an open source project would require a
significant investment of our time, which we don't have right now.

Wondering if there are any active efforts to port this to Linux, Mac OS X?

Also, would like to cast a vote that this software code be released under
GPL copyright :)
