> 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…
