We have thought that Jamming is a kind of CVS for the rest of us. I know 
some people are using Jamming in programming course to share and make 
versions of their source code. In your case I would rather use Jamming 
than WebTop for version control. For more advanced students I would then 
introduce the "real CVS".

Great idea!

Inside Fle3 there is a tool for creating new Knowledge Type sets (see 
the screen shot: http://fle3.uiah.fi/screen_shots/Pages/Image12.html).

The tool is available for staff users in the Course Management section.

After creating a new set with the tool it comes available to the form 
where you create a new course context. It is also visible in the list of 
Knowledge Type sets of your Fle3 instance (in the Course Management 
section). From this list you can import, export and delete the sets.

So - no need to edit the XML-file.

When you get your set ready please send it for us to, so if you want we 
may share it with other users through Fle3 website.
