any hope of a new CourseBuilder?

[GP01]

Any hope of a new version of CourseBuilder for CS3? With added features?
Compatible with Firefox (drag and drop, timer, slider...)?
We have hundreds of exercises based on CB? We have tailored the interactions
to our needs. We suppose we are not alone.
"Official" answer would be appreciated.

It is my understanding that CourseBuilder is owned/distributed by Rapid Intake, so any word, official or otherwise will need to be asked of them, not here:

Well, acording to Rapid Intake, Adobe has taken over Coursebuilder again... I hope that someone eventually finds out who is actually owning CB! Otherwise we can all wait a loooong time...:frown;

Just downloaded CB for DW8 (Danilo, thanks for the link).
It is a joke. It is exactly the same as the one I had. No new features, the
same bugs!
You have to fiddle to make a drag and drop work in Firefox. Sliders, timers
still don't work in Firefox.
It is unconceivable to create an e-learning site that is not compatible with
Firefox.

That is what they say. I posted recently on Rapid Intake's forums since the
CS3 version they originally said they were working on never materialized.
Their president posted back that they had not renewed their contract with
Adobe and so Adobe had it back. Whether Adobe plans to continue development
or just bury it remains to be seen. I guess it's wait and see time.

"wait and see time" Nice! What about us web-designers who bought DW CS3, Flash
and the rest of it? Who have to work with inadequate extensions (because not
compatible with Firefox)? :disgust;
Why should CourseBuilder be an extension? Why isn't it integrated in DW which
costs a nice sum of money? That would turn DW into a very productive program.

Probably because only a small % of the Dreamweaver developers would use it.
While it's a natural progression for someone like you .. others may never do
anything that requires a quiz and don't want Dreamweaver to be any further
slowed down with features they would never use.
