<h1>Future</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<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>Here is our current vision of the future, though this always changes depending on what developers want to work on.

<h3>Version 2.0 - Early 2004</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This major release will include some major changes in internal structure
|
|
|
|
|
designed to add flexibility and scalability in many areas. Among the major
|
|
|
|
|
targets are:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Completely rewritten display layer using XHTML-compatible code and complete implementation
|
|
|
|
|
of templates for increased standards-compliance, flexibility and accessibility </li>
|
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>New architecture for Enrolments with plugins (similar to the
|
|
|
|
|
existing Authentication architecture) so that
|
|
|
|
|
external systems (eg Student Records, Paypal, LDAP etc)
|
|
|
|
|
can control student and teacher access within courses</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
