Monday morning the fine fellas at WooThemes released a new Learning Management System (LMS) plugin called Sensei. If you read my post about e-learning and WordPress, you recall that I wrote about another plugin, WP Courseware from Fly Plugins. At the time I wrote about WP Courseware, it didn’t support quizzes, which meant you had to create them on your own (using a plugin like Gravity Forms).

This will provide better local access and faster connections for all customers and visitors to these sites and that’s just going to be dandy for everyone. For now they are allowing a CNAME to be mapped with the chance that the underlying IP address to be swapped so don’t go map to an A record quite yet.
Is Selling on Envato 'Insane' for Developers?
As per Alex King‘s comment when reviewing the Mac App Store policies for selling and Envato’s marketplace: The more I think about it, the more insane I think it is to choose to do business with Envato given their current terms.
