Developer meetings > April 2009 meeting
The meeting was at 11:00 UTC on Thursday, 30 April 2009. We had 22 participants and we covered everything in around two hours.
Meeting notes and recording of the meeting available soon!
Moodle 2.0
- Project management overview - Martin D
- New Coding Guidelines - Martin D
- Summary of what I am doing with Navigation, blocks, pagelib, etc. - Tim
- DB layer 2.0
- Enum (check constraints) support is being dropped in Moodle 2.0. Eloy is going to review all the dml/ddl tests and add a lot more to ensure that the database code is completely covered by tests. He'll then review current mssql and oracle implementations and fix them completely. We still need to decide whether to build a native driver for Windows (Microsoft is interested).
- Moodle Partner UVCMS have agreed to implement IMS CC with help from Moodle HQ.
- Eloy will start work on Backup 2.0 once the DB layer work is completed. File format is likely to change, though they'll still be similar internally. MDL-15489 is an annoying problem in 1.9 - some workarounds are necessary.
- Points A to G are agreed, the rest aren't. Eloy probably won't have time to develop it.
- The Workshop module is being completely rewritten for Moodle 2.0 by David Mudrák. Please provide feedback on the spec in the discussion Workshop 2.0 specification - request for review and comments.
Other news
- Helen informed everyone that this year we have 6 projects, which is half the number that we had last year - we're going for quality over quantity this year. We're currently in the community bonding period, then coding is officially due to start on 23 May (a Saturday!). Please watch tracker issues and project specification pages in Moodle Docs, and encourage GSOC students by commenting on tracker issues and replying to forum posts.
- Penny's bug sprint idea (similar to our previous Bugathon but perhaps over a much shorter period of time)
- Question: Moodle 1.9.5 status?
