 No spec per se, but they do have a published API.

:)


Let's make the specs for a new distance learning, courseware delivery
system:

1)  Must be designed with Open Source in mind.
2)  Must be free of all copyrights and liens. (IE, if you're not willing to
give it away - then you may not want to contribute - unless we are talking
about YACDSC ???)
3)  Must be interoperable with other delivery methods - Hmmm, the two major
players are using IMS/XML to export their databases.  We shall see on that
one...
4)  Should use SOAP to speak with other SOAP aware systems.
5) ...

Please chime in here folks (even you lurkers  :)

-Sneex- :]


PS - About visiting other countries - having been to a few (Germany, S.
Korea, Panama, etc.) I would say that visiting alone if most of the fun.
But I suppose I am an adventurer at heart.

PPS - Defined:  Adventure, verb, an unplanned trip into the unknown - can
somtimes be disenchanting, but nevertheless - FUN  :)

OK OK, it was during the time I was in the Army, and there were many other
just likew me in the same boat.  OK, Steve, one of us will hold your hand -
we promise  :)

i'd love to go to YAPC, but both the cost of a trip to
Montreal (airfare is $482 from TRI, and i bet cabfare
from the airport to McGill and back is not cheap, and
then there's food and the hotel-or-dorm-room and you're
talking a $700-minimum trip) and my somewhat-provincial
concerns about visiting a foreign country by myself
are preventing me from going.

i'm game.  i hadn't heard of WebCT before i just went
to http://www.webct.com .  the first step is developing
a spec.  anyone know where a spec for WebCT is?
