Hello all,

Fle3 software development has been pretty quiet in last months. This does not mean that there is nothing going on around Fle3. In Helsinki we have been focusing on to test and use Fle3 and the pedagogical model it is relaying on in a number of different kind of educational settings from schools to universities. It's been a good experience. :-)

There are some software development activities going on, as well:

* Juan Ramón Moral Cárdenas and his group is developing
  email announcement feature;

* I am writing user story of "teachers open course announcement page"
  that is available in the web, not inside Fle3". It's possible that it
  will be slightly overlapping with the story of "shared group calendar
  with announcements", See:
  http://church.uiah.fi:8080/fle3docs/12v3_calendar.html.html.

* We are (still) dreaming on the 2.5 dimensional, zommable and spatial
  knowledge building with the possibility to have "background" images
  and layers. :-) Someone should start to write a user story about this,
  too.

I am not really interested in to write a "software roadmap" kind of document for Fle3. I think I just don't like the words "software" and "roadmap" and together they are even worse.

Anyway, there are some Fle3 related issues we are working and want you to be the fist to know about them.

1. Knowledge building playing cards. Yes, we are working on to produce
   physical cards and a game that will help teachers and students to
   practice knowledge building before they take Fle3 in use.

2. Fle3 on CD-Rom. We will soon release a CD-Rom for easy installation
   of Fle3. The CD-Rom contains Zope/Fle3/PIL etc.

3. A book on Fle3. We have asked people to contribute their experiences
   of using Fle3 in a different educational setting. We hope we will get
   the book published next autumn. if you have a good article for the
   book, you can still contribute it for us.

Please, be in touch with us if you have any comments, questions of suggestions related to Fle3. We can be slow in answering (it's a cultural feature :-), but we really like to hear about you.

Best regards,

    - Teemu
