[Xerte] Re: Xerte Develper Nonference: Suggested Dates

Tue Jun 28 13:39:46 BST 2011

What would be useful, for those of us content authors who haven't the
time to attend, would be to have some form of documentation on how Xerte
2.0 work programmatically. I know it is based on AS2 and Xerte 3 is
based on AS3 but just having looked at an example page I am lost as to
the structure. I can program but need a guide on component layout ie
parenticon.nextsibling.

Would it be worth promoting the Nonference on your Xerte web site, e.g.
a latest news article?

I just wonder how many Xerte content authors subscribe to the mail list,
and of those how many may have already perceived this posting to be
targeted primarily (if not solely) at developers?

Kind regards

	Yes, very much so.

	"learn and share ideas..." "but not necessarily limited to
developers as all input is valuable"

	I am quoting this from the Doodle: Xerte Developer's Nonference
page as it may be that content authors who would like to learn how to
develop pages may feel that this Nonference is not appropriate for them.

	Would you want to use part of this event to encourage and
facilitate aspiring content authors to become some of the developers of
tomorrow? 

	If you feel this would be an appropriate use of the time then I
would be willing, to provide some input on using Page Wizards to "build
your developer muscles". I have posted something to this effect on the
Doodle link page, but it occurred to me that content authors might not
read the Doodle page if they had already decided the event was perhaps
going to be 'over their heads'.

	I am not sure how many Xerte developers there are out there at
present, but a few more wouldn't hurt. :-)

	I appreciate that you may feel that this idea may be
inappropriate for the event, or alternatively premature until issues of
modularisation are resolved.

	Kind regards

	Johnathan

	We are looking to host a two or three day even in September for
developers to come together and work on some Xerte stuff, learn and
share ideas. There is some current community based work afoot to address
internationalisation, and those developers were looking to meet up to
move some ideas forward. There are some other ideas that could really do
with prototyping, and would benefit from some group discussion: mobile
delivery, for example, and Alistair has some accessibility areas he'd
like to improve. Everyone always has loads of ideas for new templates as
well, it would be good to share some knowledge about Xerte 3.0, and I'd
welcome anything - anything at all - that others would like to put on
the agenda

	The event would be free, and fairly DIY. I'm happy to suggest
Nottingham as a venue, but also open to ideas for other venues that
might be nice. Attendees would pay travel and expenses, although there
may be some booty for people willing to take on certain developments.
It's all quite embryonic, but first off I need to get some idea of
number of people who'd like to get together, and dates that are suitable
in the middle two weeks of September: register your interest here:
