<H2>Future</H2>
<P>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.
<P>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 <A TARGET=_top HREF="http://bugs.moodle.org/">bugs.moodle.org</A>.
Your <A href="developer.html">contributions</a> in the form of ideas, code,
feedback and promotion are all very welcome.
<P>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.
<P>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:
<UL>
<LI>Stronger pedagogical support for both teachers and students
<LI>Support for groups and group work
<LI>Rewritten display incorporating XML, XSL and CSS for full flexibility
and compatibility with all modern web standards.
<LI>Basic support for IMS and SCORM
<LI>A variety of new modules (chat, tracker etc)
<LI>Whatever else seems most important at the time :-)
</UL>
<P>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.
