[Xerte] ANN: Xerte 3 Windows and Mac versions now available

[Nigel Irwin]

Hi
 
Just downloaded the new Xerte3 and air and very impressed I am. However
how do we use it? Is there any documentation on how to create an LO?
Nothing appears in the preview when i add things like text areas or rich
text editor and when i do a browser preview it asks me to download flash
player which i have done and nothing. Help just shows AS3 commands.

Yes true but being able to say "with Xerte even the pro version is free"
might be a positive message...

 

also if Xerte3 is ultimately to replace Xerte 2.x why change the name at
all? Just refer to older versions as Xerte1 and Xerte2

I always adding pro on the end means "you have to pay for this one".

Not so sure you should change the name especially if you are looking to
add the wizards and templates at some point. What about XertePro or
XerteProfessional?

 

Happy to get involved and help however I can.

 

Thanks to all involved for the latest versions - will have to try the
Mac version at some point - in fact maybe at the Apple event I'm
attending tomorrow!

Hi,

 

Xerte 3 is now a cross platform application, with versions for Windows
and Mac. You can download the latest beta from the links below. Please
feed in any issues, bugs, feature requests or ideas.

 

Windows:

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/downloads/xerte3_installer.exe

 

Macintosh

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/downloads/xerte3_installer.dmg

 

You'll need the Air runtime installing on your machine:
http://get.adobe.com/air/

 

Many many thanks to Peter Huppertz for creating the Air build and
bringing you the Mac version.

 

If you want to get involved in the project: whether testing, fixing,
coding new features or writing tutorials and documentation, now would be
a great time to pipe up. The project is on track to complete version 1.0
by Christmas, and you can expect at least monthly updates to the beta
between now and then. The largest piece of outstanding work is to
implement the wizards and  templates, and to integrate the editor into
Xerte Online Toolkits. Consider 'Xerte3' a working title for now, as I
think we should give the software a different name and distinguish it
from the existing Xerte and Xerte Online Toolkits. Ideas are welcome:
I'm looking for a word beginning with 'X' that returns very few google
results...

 

Thanks,

 

J
