Almost everything that's part of a Sosua page object can be described in normal HTML page. The page edit merely allows you to re-use elements and provide some editing structure. However, it can clutter up the collections of the Resource tool. One could consider a "Page Compiler" (save to HTML) which takes a page layout description and renders it into a fixed HTML file.
See Antranig - August 5, 2008 for discussion on this topic.
Sousa Modules - mjn
Group sequences into modules with metadata. Structures might be analogous to book/chapter/section/page, or other organizations.
Charting, Plots, Graphs - mjn - Completed in Aug. 2008
Use data from tables, spreadsheets, etc. and plot with SVG. The OpenCSV page is Apache 2.0 licensed and is very simple to use. It's a great way to get tabular data into Sousa. Initially, editing would only add or swap CSV (or TAB) files. Later, we could add a customized editor for table data editing. Plots and graphics are a matter of specifying which rows (or columns) to use as data, and then plot it using SVG.
OpenCSV was used on another project that builds it as a JAR that can be included in Sakai. It might be a good idea to get this put up on the Sakai Maven repository. Library is very easy to use.
