Welcome to ELML

ELML, eLesson Markup Language, is an OpenSource XML framework for creating eLessons using XML/XSLT technologies. It is a "spin-off" from the GITTA project (Geographic Information Technology Training Alliance), a Swiss GIS eLearning project. The ELML project ist hosted at Sourceforge and offers all the regular tools (CVS, bugtracker, forum etc.) that you might already be familiar with when working with Sourceforge.

ELML 1.1 released

(Mon, 24 Jan 2005 15:01:12 GMT) The new ELML 1.1 version was just released. It includes now a working (first raw version) of an FO XSLT stylesheet to generate PDFs using the Adobe FOP (or similar) engine. Furthermore some minor bugs in the HTML stylesheet were fixed and the two layout templates (HTML, gitta_basic) were updated.

Please note that starting with version 1.1 of ELML the Bugtracker, Support Tracker and RFE (Request for Feature) Tracker have been activated. To help us improve ELML, please log into Sourceforge and use these tools to submit Bugs, Support questions or to request new features. This way you'll be notified automatically if a request is solved. We also opened a new mailing-list for the Tracker items. If you want to be informed automatically about new Tracker items, please subscribe to this list (similar to the CVS mailing list, where you will be informed about CVS changes). (0 comments)

XML Workshop postponed to February 28th

(Tue, 18 Jan 2005 15:12:12 GMT) On 28th February 2005, a one day XML/ELML Workshop will take place at FHBB in Muttenz. The course is suitable for everybody who wants an introduction to XML and its co-standards like XML schema and XSLT and also ELML. In the morning you will learn about the standards while the afternoon is reserved for exercises that will allow you to dig deeper in the areas of your interest. Certainly, during one day we will not be able to discuss every detail of XML & Co. Thus, we will give you detailed course documents which will allow you to read and learn more in your own time. The course costs you 150.- SFr. (Euro 100). If you are interested in participating, please contact Susanne Bleisch. (0 comments)
