Student Information API for version 2.0

Also on a related point the student API which is down for version 2.0. Is there any more detail to here on this yet? Will this be part of the IMS Enterprise data model and therefore enrolments plug in or will someone be working on a Moodle SIF agent? In the UK SIF is likely to take off as the DfES via Becta are currently consulting on a UK SIF model and piloting SIF in Birmingham and Northern Ireland. I believe that SIF is used quite widely in the US?

Wiki engine

I noticed there was some talk about making new wiki module for 1.9... what do "nWiki" and "DF wiki" refer to? I've searched online and haven't found a clear description of what these mean. I am curious if they are still based on MediaWiki. I would hate to see some of the great features of MediaWiki (mainly the scalability) be lost. When MediaWiki is configured with Memcached and Squid caching servers, they can serve thousands of requests per second: hard to beat!
Thanks,

None of the wikis are based on Mediawiki. Mediawiki is very difficult to use as a basis for a Moodle wiki, because of all the special features we need. Martin Dougiamas 22:10, 22 April 2008 (CDT)

about nwiki

Seems that nwiki will be inside for 2.0. Nwiki IMPLEMENTS the mediawiki markup, and the old features of the current wiki for backwards compatibility... and that is what makes it so difficult. Is really hard.

You migth get by the Using moodle wiki forum and we can discuss about it. Cheers. --Ludo (Marc Alier) 11:14, 13 January 2008 (CST)

About WS ?

Where fit the WS layer in the roadmap?

IMS LIT 2.0 compliance ?

• Wimba is working with IMS to develop an activity module that acts as a consumer of the IMS LTI 2.0 standard...
• We in UPC (dfwikiteam) are working in a way to make the moodle course a IMS LTI 2.0 producer ...

shall this be included somewhere in the roadmap?--Ludo (Marc Alier) 01:05, 9 April 2008 (CDT)

Site-wide groups

Site-wide (or, preferrable, context-wide) groups is much needed improvement (see votes for MDL-11826), especially in large institutions. Can it be targeted to 2.0?

Yes, it would really help lot of people... --Séverin Terrier 16:57, 13 May 2008 (CDT)

Seems to have been tagged for 2.0 by Petr :) Matt Gibson 10:46, 19 May 2008 (CDT)

Minted course profile plugin

This was scheduled for 1.9, but didn't make it. Any plans to include it in 2.0? It seems to have vanished. Matt Gibson 10:47, 19 May 2008 (CDT)

Instructor-led Training Session Management

In several of the projects we work on there is a very real need to manage instructor-led sessions by booking training rooms and assigning trainers. I've always felt that Moodle is so advanced in many areas but this is something that is not really catered for. Developing this will mean that Moodle can comfortably handle blended-learning.

There has been some fantastic work done on the Face-to-Face contrib module and the integration of the MRBS module. But in my experience, what's needed is actually a combination of the two systems that integrates to the Moodle calandar and other standard components.

I'd be happy to spec out the requirements and test in real environments.
