Wookie demo at JISC-CETIS '09

[Scott Wilson]

Last week I did a short spot about Wookie in a session at the JISC- CETIS conference; it was a bit impromptu but seemed to go pretty well. Several of the attendees got in touch afterwards to find out more, and there was some follow up:

- Richard Goddard, from LearnObjectivity.com who is working on Moodle integration, got in touch and asked about the Moodle plugin. He successfully set up a demo of Wookie which he gave at the Scottish Moodle User Group (!). - Sam Rowley (aka TheParsnip, developer at Staffs Uni) wrote on Twitter later "Impressed with #cetis09 @scottbw Wookie widget server demo. I knew what we wanted to do and what approach to take. Now I know what to use." - Richard Mobbs from Leicester Uni was interested in integration with Sharepoint and Blackboard - Rob Englebright from BECTA (UK schools ICT agency) had a Wookie server running on his laptop already :-) Once again we had more people asking for a live server to play with (the one we're currently hosting at http://galadriel.cetis.ac.uk/ wookie while its stable enough this is now running a very out of date version of Wookie which doesn't implement the current version of the REST API spec).
