Thanks Kevin.


I bet they are... thanks to my location in Edinburgh I even got to  
meet Kevin and Mark in person. I got to see the nice and pleasant  
office where everything happens.


The focus of the discussion was on education projects (how to get  
runrev more widespread in the education community). There was some  
ambiguity some months ago that were in great part due to Ro Nagey  
health problems. He had had heart surgery at the time and despite his  
high commitment to the cause, he couldn't attend to the education  
community as much as he would have wanted to.


I am glad to say that it was clear from the meeting I had last week  
that they have been listening to many things said on the list, even  
if they didn't always take the time to send an official notification  
of this. Even better, they plan to address some of the most recurrent  
requests (sorry guys, no specific details about this now... I will  
let the runrev team make official announcements about this).


Another good news is that they were very receptive to the proposal to  
get us the educators/academics among us organise ourselves as a self- 
managed community, so to set up a process by which we can clarify and  
agree on our needs (we are too many to get this done in one-by-one  
relationships with runrev) and then have a few representatives have  
once or twice a year meetings with the runrev team. We will be in a  
position to express opinions and requests in a way that is more  
constructive than ranting!  More details promised by them... later  
this month I believe.


Tomorrow's surprise is also one that should better address the needs  
of educators who don't spend at least 30% of their time on runrev  
projects and for who, therefore, the level of noise on the list is  
too big and the nicer nabble forum-like interface (www.nabble.com/Revolution---User-f2297.html>) is not really the best  
answer.


For my parts, with runrev support, I will try to get the persons  
working on the LADIE project become interested in runrev's potential.
"The LADIE reference model supports Learning Activity Authoring (the  
design and construction of learning activities and the discovery,  
specification, sequencing and packaging of content) and Learning  
Activity Realisation (the construction of the environment in which  
learning activities are to take place and execution of the learning  
activities themselves). The LADIE project combines practical teaching  
and learning experience, pedagogy/didactics through the DialogPlus  
project in addition to the needs of existing technologies." (e- 
learning frameworks, UK).



Stay tuned, guys, with revolution, the future will be bright. For my  
part, I am just waiting for some money transfer to convert my studio  
license into an enterprise one.


Hasta la revolution sempre!!

Subject: Forums & off topic posts

Hi Everyone,

There are some major site revisions planned for January and user forums
are
among them.  We've been quiet because we've been trying to get some
other
engineering pieces worked out just now, but now several list users have
contacted us with complaints about the level of noise that has nothing
to do
with using Revolution.

I ask the following:

Be patient about the forums request.  They are planned and coming.  We
will
be talking about them by mid January.  There will be some off-topic
support
there.

Please end the threads on the off topic areas.

Kind regards,

Kevin
