I didn't know about dotLRN. I've installed it this week-end to
see it. I've got some problems with java classes and sources,
they appear as "invalid" in oracle and I don't know how to
correct it.
For us, it's not easy to upgrade, first because we're a small
team, and the more important because of the language. I think
that Sussdorff made a
internationalization package but I didn't test it. i18n would
be nice and allow us to upgrade more often. We made some job for
localization, we modified the calendar package that it should
work according to the localization set in the DB.
About XML: there is a work of an educational modelling language
in our university. More information at
PALO (english
version). The author of this work has joined now an european
project with the same purpose,
EML. Our goal is to
make ACES compatible with contents packaged with PALO, and in
the future with EML.
Thanks Carl for the Galileo link, I didn't know it before :/
