Update February 2006

Now 12 months into the development, eXe has gone through some major developmental refinement. eXe currently has a compliment of 19 generic idevices and with our last release, 0.12, produced the first plugin iDevice. Where our generic iDevices offer more commonly used authoring features, the plugins offer specialist tools and are generally more suitable for users with a slightly more advanced degree of technical expertise.

From the outset eXe held appeal to both the local New Zealand and international audiences and this appeal has shown more tangibly with academics from China, Japan, and Dubai requesting demonstrations of the technology on visits to New Zealand. On the flip side, when any of the team have had cause to travel overseas they have taken the opportunity to discuss and demonstrate exe with international counterparts. The outcome of one such encounter is the potential use of eXe within the Peruvian education sector.

Over the next two months the team plans to work solidly on bug fixes and testing to ensure that for the production release in April we have, as far as is possible, a functional, robust application.

2005

The eXe project is developing an off-line authoring environment to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content without the need to become proficient in HTML or XML markup. The project is funded by a grant from the Tertiary Education Commission of New Zealand.

The eXe project is an Open Source project and we welcome any input from the user community or from developers. To find out how you can help, please visit our homepage
