I'm committed to continuing my work on Moodle and on keeping it Open and Free. I have a deeply-held belief in the importance of unrestricted education and empowered teaching, and Moodle is the main way I can contribute to the realisation of these ideals.
As Moodle gains in maturity, I hope its directions are influenced by the community of developers and users. A dynamic database of proposed features and their status can be found at bugs.moodle.org. Your contributions in the form of ideas, code, feedback and promotion are all very welcome.
Now that 1.0.1 has been released, most of my efforts will concentrate on the macro level (supporting larger classes and integrating into larger institutions) and the micro level (improving support for decisions and processes, for both teachers and learners).
The next 6 months or so I will have to slow down my own development a little (because I have a PhD thesis to finish). During this time there'll be a number of small upgrades 1.0.2, 1.0.3 etc that I expect will contain minor new features and polishing. I'll also be working with people adding new plugins (support for more databases, new modules and new themes).
Sometime in the first half of 2003 you can expect a major release (1.1, maybe 1.5) that has new features like:
