- Development:Navigation 2.0 - Blocks / Pages / Tabs / Navigation: how should they all work IDEALLY? - Martin D and Tim Hunt
Other news
- I just published some thoughts about the future of the question engine in Moodle. I don't think we need to take time in the meeting to discuss it, but I thought people interested in the meeting might be interested in that document, so I am taking the liberty of mentioning it here. Obviously, if there is time, and if anyone wants to talk about it, I am happy to. - Tim Hunt
- Possible forum rewrite for 2.x - Sam Marshall
- Google Summer of Code 2009
- Helen talked about Leslie Hawthorn's confirmation that GSOC and Google Highly Open Participation (GHOP) will both run this year. GHOP will begin in November. Regarding GSOC, assuming Moodle is accepted, students will be able to apply at the end of March. Thus we need to check the list of suggestions from our GSOC mentor debriefing last year and start coming up with student project ideas soon!
If there is time and interest:
- Off line Moodle - any experience and ideas about how to use Moodle in situations with poor Internet possibilities. I have some contact with two projects (Malaysia and Tanzania) where that is the case. - Jeff Forssell
- DevFeedback - is this a possible title for the feedback for all elements module described. I haven't changed it much since the last online developer meeting, but i haven't heard any reactions either. - Jeff Forssell
