We are adapting the Aloha editor for creating books, textbooks and other structured content. We are adding mathematics editing and the ability to add educational features like examples, exercises, equations, and glossary entries.

Funding: Funding to the OERPUB fork of Aloha Editor for editing textbook content has been funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation through a fellowship and project funds to Kathi Fletcher.
Demos: Thanks for checking us out! You can play with some of our demos by going to our Demo Page
Plugins: Development is done in branches off of master, which are then tested on the dev branch, specifically in the Plugins directory.
Quickstart: To get a development enviroment set up quickly and start working on the editor, use the following instructions. The instructions are for Ubuntu using nginx as the webserver, but you can of course use apache or if you have a mac the webserver that is already present.
Development Workflow: If you develop please look at our dev workflow
The gh-pages branch contains demo HTML files that point to CDN versions of external packages so people can play with the demos.
gh-pages is periodically merged from master when new features are released.
We're currently writing new new guides. You can find these at
