Subject:  [IIEP] Open Source Tool: eXe Release 0.3

Hi everyone,

Great links from Jean-Claude - worth reading.

eXe is a desktop authoring environment to assist teachers and academics in
the publishing of web content for e-learning without the need to become
proficient in HTML or XML mark-up. The eXe is an open source software
project funded by the Tertiary Education Commission of New Zealand. When
completed, it will be freely available for every teacher, lecturer and
academic to use in support of their e-learning activities. This is an early
release of the eXe project.  It is intended to elicit feedback from the user
community.  We expect file formats will change, so don't invest a lot of
time in creating a large package with this release.

Please download eXe and let us know what you think. Later today there will
be an online form where you can give us feedback. This is a great way for
folk who are not programmers or developers to participate in an open source
project.

You will find the survey form at: http://cfdl.auckland.ac.nz/exe_survey
(NOTE - this not currently running but will be in 6 hours time)

For more information please read the brochure attached, or visit the project
