moodler ee8b1abe65 First round clean up of the docs
- new Coding Guidelines
  - new Philosophy page
  - new dedicated styles sheet for all pages
  - better table of contents in left frame
  - source fixups all over

The styles are very boring - I'll work on that next time!
Also, we'll get David's optimisation page and a student manual in there.

<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.
</p>
<h3>Version 1.2 - Late 2003
</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>The main targets for this version include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for groups/cohorts within courses</li>
<li>New module: Glossary</li>
<li>New module: Attendance</li>
<li>New module: Webquest</li>
<li>Text filters, where all text can be parsed by plugins</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<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>
</blockquote>
<h3>Version 2.1 - Early 2004</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>This release will start to take advantage of the new structuring and add new features such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>New access-control system allowing finely-defined roles and rights
</li>
<li> Stronger pedagogical support for both teachers and students </li>
<li>Basic support for standard learning objects (SCORM content packages)</li>
<li>Better integration of Moodle with moodle.org (for teachers to share and collaborate)</li>
</ul>
