Future (Dokeos 2.0)

The setting of the future Dokeos will look slightly different because we work with different applications and one kernel. The philosophy that we have in mind is to have a XML file for the kernel settings and one XML file per application. In those XML we will list all settings with possible default values. During the installation those XML files are parsed to 'install' all settings needed. Since the current Dokeos is a seperate application in the Dokeos 2.0 view we will have two XML files already (kernel + weblcms).

Important: Keep in mind that a lot of the current settings are reworked to roles and permissions in Dokeos 2.0
