Discussions

There is very little discussion about MoodleDocs that I can find. I know there used to be a whole course at moodle.org dedicated to discussions about documentation, but that appears to have vanished. Is there a substitute for it? Where can I ask questions about this wiki? For example: How do I change my username from Delius to Gustav? --Gustav Delius 09:41, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Thanks for your comments. Please note that Martin Dougiamas will make an announcement about the documentation very soon. Re. changing your username, the easiest way to achieve this is to re-register with username Gustav then add a redirect #REDIRECT [[User:Gustav]] to your old user page. -- Helen Foster 17:59, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Thanks Helen. I have done that. My username looks more friendly now. --Gustav Delius 18:10, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Main page links

I'd strongly recommend adding the panel of links from About Moodle to the Main Page as well - they're incredibly important. I'm talking about the "Introduction | Background | Philosophy | License | Features | Release Notes | Future | Credits" links. --Dan

Hi Dan, thanks for your recommendation. The main page content definitely needs a re-think. -- Helen Foster 02:31, 27 January 2006 (WST)

I would like to see a reference to the Moodle Community and the collaborative aspects of learning about both Moodle as a product and as a process. I am not sure where would be the best place to anchor that page. --mburnet

Just a brief thought re: "featured pages" and "Teaching Don'ts" link--could we also add "Teaching Dos" so that the focus is balanced and a little more positive for newbies stumbling into this page for the first time? --Lesli Smith

Hi Lesli, as requested, Teaching Do's is now a featured page. Apologies for the delay. --Helen Foster 04:31, 1 April 2006 (WST)

Fantastic Stuff

Just wanted to pop in quickly and say a huge thankyou to Helen for this fantastic resource.

Your work here is looking fantastic. So much for adding your time and expertise to this community. I know what it is like to juggle many hats. If you ever need a hand you need only ask :)

Looking forward to seeing this integrated into 1.6.

Julian

I second that. Great job, Helen! :-) --Art Lader 01:56, 23 February 2006 (WST)

Thanks guys, though it's everyone's contributions that will make Moodle Docs into a great resource! --Helen Foster 03:57, 23 February 2006 (WST)

I'm a little late, but I also want to thank you so much for this wonderful resource.  :-D --Lesli Smith

Add links to international versions (es,...)

Since https://docs.moodle.org is the main site for Moodle Documentation, there must be links to the different international versions, such as the Spanish one: https://docs.moodle.org/es . Maybe something similar to the Wikipedia home page: http://www.wikipedia.org . If not, just links to international versions in the main English page.

Hi David, you're very welcome to add inter-language links - please check the guidelines for contributors for more details. --Helen Foster 05:54, 18 February 2006 (WST)

Upload Flash

Is it possible to upload Flash files? I tried to do so via the same interface we use for uploading images, but had no luck. --Art Lader 19:10, 22 February 2006 (WST)

Hi Art, sorry it's not possible to upload Flash files for security reasons. Please could you explain what you would like to do, and perhaps send me a sample file, then I'll investigate alternative options. --Helen Foster 03:53, 23 February 2006 (WST)

That is not a probelm, Helen. I have upgraded to SnagIt 8.0 and can add tooltips to screen captures. Just wanted to see if that improved the documentation. No big deal, though. --Art Lader 06:28, 23 February 2006 (WST)

Image on the front page

Can we have a nice image somewhere on the front page, something documenty like books maybe? Just to make the home page stand out a little from the subpages. Martin Dougiamas 22:26, 14 April 2006 (WST)

How about some free stock photography? I tend to use http://www.sxc.hu/
