Thank you very much Rocael, but i think that the process is similar to:

https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message%5fid=464965

by the way, first, the new package is posted in the .lrn Q&A forum, second, if it is useful for the .LRN community then the package is upload to a CVS branch how in this link:
https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-5-1/contributing-code.html

Is it correct?

Carlos, that makes sense. You can post a link to a package for download before contributing it to CVS. If it is contributed to CVS, it needs to be added to HEAD, not on a branch.

CVS has been always open for people to actually do their development there, on HEAD, for their own packages, at least that is what I understand being part of OCT.

Anyway, will be interesting to have a brief description of what you package does. I have seen a couple of package from Cauca which are really useful!

Well, the package is a wimpy point based editor with extensions for building simple learning objects (with E-LANE format) and upload them to lors. This package allows fix the status of the resources too. It was a part of an application for management the kind of learning objects delivered to students according to they student profile: the learning style and the speed connection (Another three packages were used).

Currently we are working in a editor version with several bugs fixed and style sheets and meta data addition support.
