Context
ELMS:LN is a bit hard to measure because it’s a project of projects. Releases we qualify as the ELMS:LN platform itself although in 2019 alone we’ve had over 170 projects (with releases) which are created in pursuit of ELMS:LN. Deployments of ELMS:LN architecture is also separate from the usage of those individual projects. HAXTheWeb would be classified as it’s own project in most other communities but is just one piece of our puzzle. It has its own user base as it’s able to be unplugged from ELMS:LN and has had it’s own release schedule.

Future Plans
ELMS:LN will continue to work on the WCFactory, HAXeditor, HAXcms, HAXiam as well as enhancing the ELMS:LN core platform through the next year. We have recently conveted ELMS:LN to leverage V1 specification web components, providing greater performance and design accuracy across browsers. We continue to gain feedback from instructors, faculty and staff about the needs for HAXeditor as it works to become the default editor in ELMS:LN. We also plan to integrate HAXcms into ELMS:LN in the coming year.
