[ILUG] Anyone up for a bit of testing?

[Ian Spillane]

Ya I know you'd want to be awful bored but I'm putting out the call anyway
for someone with Mac OSX to test a bash script for me. Or maybe someone
already knows whether a bash script relying on grep, sed, and zip could work
in OSX.

http://web2lo.sourceforge.net

The "program" is one to convert a folder containing a website into what is
known as a "Learning Object". These are portable zip files with modified
html and XML metadata files to act as lessons on classroom systems such as
Moodle.

It works lovely for me in Suse - but as all I have access to at present is a
iMac G3 with OS9, I can't answer the question on OSX.

I would be grateful, if someone was curious, for the return of a test
Learning Object zip file (that is if the script got that far). If it needs
modification - feel free to join the project and make any corrections.
Immortalisation as part of a tiny GPL project awaits!

By the way, if there are any teachers out there interested in open source
learning platforms, the Cork College of Commerce is planning a workshop in
September, and I'm happy anytime to help you through setting up a Moodle
server or let you experiment on our own Moodle platform at
www.collegeofcommerce.com.
