Abstract Open source software is becoming the most interesting new phenomenon of the entire information technology area, generating a level of interest similar to that of the first moments of the Internet. The impact of open source technology is expected to be quite noticeable in the software industry, and in society as a whole. It allows for novel development models, which have already been demonstrated to be especially well suited to efficiently take advantage of the work of developers spread across all corners of the planet. It also enables completely new business models, which are shaping a network of groups and companies based on open source software development. This paper will look at work carried out on a project to create an effective authoring tool for use within an Irish Higher Education Institution that would allow for the creation and publication of electronic content for modules run within the University. |
