> While this is true, the waiting part is also true. We have to get
> permission to explicitly open source it and package it properly for
> integration in other WordPress themes, but since that permission is
> probably a long time coming, it is totally spun-up as a highly dependent
> child theme to the rest of our ecosystem. The video files don't even live
> on our instance of LibraryLearn but on a separate media server.

> What you get from the repo probably will not work for you without intense
> retrofitting. My apologies. The plans to distribute LibraryLearn are not as

> and bundled with a theme designed around that plugin, but we haven't yet
> been given the go-ahead by our copyright person and our parent university.
