Hi Brandon
We'll be delighted to have you onboard with AON.Jon looks after setting up
accounts, and I'm sure will pick that up as soon as he is able so that you can
start hosting here.
In the meantime, please do feel free to carry on working on the project.
The best place to talk about your project is on the AON Forums - Thomas will
set up a sub-forum for you if you like.
We're currently working (slowly) on the Common Navigation Files project. This
will being together all the information needed to navigate through the books
(i.e. abilities/items needed to turn to pages, etc) into the core AON XML
files. Once that is done, the next project on the table is to work on a
standard XML-based bookreader which would work on as many platforms as possible
(targetting the web first so we can have a fully interactive version of the
books up & running online.)
It should be a relatively straightforward exercise to convert the XML files
into other formats if needed in the future.
Good luck with the project, and shout if you need any further support
James
