Everyone is welcome, either in person or online :-)

Please add items to the agenda!

Overview

• Overview of development for Moodle 1.9 and Moodle 2.0 (Martin)
• Current Moodle 2.0 Roadmap run-through (Martin)
• Brainstorming session to vote on priorities (Martin and all)

Round table discussions

1. Options for getting Moodle to communicate with external systems, including web services
2. API's for portfolios, file managers and document repositories
3. Further plug-ability and expandability e.g. new course format objects, redefining page display layer etc.

Participants will be sharing code and development ideas that have emerged in their organizations in smaller groups, with the aim of coming up with a list of recommendations that can be formed into specifications.

General discussions

Gradebook interface improvements

• Overview of community feedback on 1.9 gradebook (Nicolas Connault)
• Run-down of current development
• Discussion of ideas for improvement, better defaults etc.

Google Summer of Code

• Google Summer of Code 2008 (Helen)

Other stuff

• I (Tim Hunt, OU Moodle developer and Moodle quiz module maintainer) will be there. I don't have anything in particular that I want to say, but I am very happy to talk about anything anyone else wants to cover that I know about.
• It might be good to have a general discussion on general testing/QA issues. Eg. bug triage, encouraging more testing/QA contributors, the weekly review etc. --Dan Poltawski 13:14, 30 May 2008 (CDT)
• I second Dan's idea! It would be great if we could brainstorm a more coordinated and systematic way of doing QA! Thanks! --Wen 00:09, 9 June 2008 (PST)
• Including global (or context) groups in Moodle 2.0 roadmap (and talk about that), as Petr agreed in the tracker (see MDL-11826)
