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.
Until about April 2003, my own involvement will slow down while I finish my PhD thesis. During this time there will still be releases, but they will only contain minor new features and bug fixes. I will also be including modules and other code contributed by others.
After this time, by around June/July 2003, I am expecting a major release called Moodle 2.0 that will include major new features such as:
About this time I will also be experimenting with ways of making Moodle development more sustainable for the long term. This may include offering services for payment - although the software itself will always remain Free.
