<p>As Moodle gains in maturity, its directions are increasingly influenced by
|
|
|
|
|
the community of developers and users. A dynamic database of proposed features
|
|
|
|
|
and their status can be found at <a target=_top href="http://moodle.org/bugs/">moodle.org/bugs</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
Your <a href="?file=credits.html">contributions</a> in the form of ideas, code,
|
|
|
|
|
feedback and promotion are all very welcome - see the <a href="?file=developer.html">Developers
|
|
|
|
|
manual</a> for more details.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Overall development has currently slowed down a bit while Martin finishes his
|
|
|
|
|
PhD thesis.</p>

<p>Here is a rough map of the future (subject to change):

|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Version 1.0.9 - May 29th, 2003</dt>
|
2002-12-29 14:37:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-05-27 15:18:20 +00:00
|
|
|
<dd>This release will contain all the many new features and bug fixes accumulated
|
|
|
|
|
since 1.0.8.1.</dd>
|

|
|
|
|
2003-05-27 15:18:20 +00:00
|
|
|
<dt>Version 1.1 - August 2003 ?</dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>This release will tie up some other loose ends and new modules such as 'chat'
|
|
|
|
|
and the 'issue tracker'. It will probably include new features for backing
|
|
|
|
|
up and restoring individual courses. It may have support for groups and group
|
|
|
|
|
work. </dd>

2003-05-27 15:18:20 +00:00
|
|
|
<dt>Version 2.0 - December 2003 ?</dt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>This major release will include some major changes in internal structure
|
2003-04-10 06:22:04 +00:00
|
|
|
designed to add flexibility and scalability in many areas. Among the major
|
|
|
|
|
targets are:
|
2003-05-27 15:18:20 +00:00
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Stronger pedagogical support for both teachers and students
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Rewritten display layer using XHTML-compatible code and complete implementation
|
|
|
|
|
of templates for increased standards-compliance, flexibility and accessibility.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Wider use of PHP classes in key areas of the Moodle code, to make some
|
|
|
|
|
things easier for programmers writing new modules or integrating with
|
|
|
|
|
external systems.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> New access-control system allowing finely-defined roles and rights.
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Basic support for IMS and SCORM
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Whatever else comes along :-)
