I'm interested in the process of getting small fixes into Moodle. There seem to be a number of no brainers, and I've often wondered what it needs to get things moving a little.  I have also found it hard to follow the tracker. So, this is really list #3.
Here are the 2009 and 2011 archives: [https://docs.moodle.org/19/en/User:Derek_Chirnside/archives 2009 and 2011 archives]

[http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2150 Sharing cart] (2009) The Sharing Cart is a pick-and-choose tool that lets you roam courses across your entire Moodle site, select just the item you want (without user data), and place it into your own course. The Sharing Cart, once turned on, follows you as you go course to course, carrying the items you pick up along the way. It’s an easy, intuitive tool for duplicating the teaching materials and activities we use every day. You can also use it to clone an activity within the same course. Some teachers found they can use it as a mini-library of frequently used content for copying to many of their own courses.

==FORUM MODULE ENHANCEMENTS==
See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Forum_requirements
===Forum: listing of attached files===
In some respects, Moodle does not have an easy to use file sharing functionality.  (Database if not really easy enough for a basic user) Hence this suggestion for an enhancement.

===Forum: locking a thread/forum===
Forum Post: 2006 - http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=45359
===Forum: subscribe at the thread level===
I notice in the tracker http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-1626 there is a request for the ability for notification (subscription) at the thread level, not just the forum level. It says it is in 2.0 in the tracker. What does this mean? Is this definite, since it is not mentioned in the roadmap? Is it too small an enhancement to justify comment in the roadmap? To what level of detail does the roadmap get maintained?

===SORTED Book module and 2.0===
https://docs.moodle.org/en/Book_module#Books_and_Moodle_2.0
 
But still not in the core I note there is a request for the book module to be in the core. http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-283 But it does not have a fix version indicated. Does that mean the request is not considered significant to be included in 2.0??

==Course Building questions==
 
===Multiple file linking===
 
#Folder option works.
#Tick boxes?
 
===Multiple file upload===
 
#Using zip files: works, but are staff using it?
#Other
 
==Links to Content Management Systems==
 
The Moodle term is 'external repository' and an API is planned to enable access of a range of external possibilities. 
 
====Copying File into Moodle====
 
====Linking to File from Moodle====
 
A scenario:  Teacher linking to an external file as a new resource (think video repository)
 
# Teacher wants to display a file in the repository
# Teacher clicks the "Choose a resource" button
# Teacher is presented with a simple file picker to choose a file (with a menu to switch between multiple configured repositories)
# Teacher chooses a file in an external repository
# Link to the file is COPIED into Moodle and stored by the resource module
# Link is marked as owned by that user
# Whenever someone wants to follow that link, the resource module controls access (see [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Repository_API Development:File API] )
 
https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Repository_API 
 
Objectives:
 
  1. Allow all Moodle users to easily bring content into Moodle from external repositories
  2. Provide a consistent interface to any external repository, for any Moodle module

Mr Cute (A fully finded JISC project) http://www.learningobjectivity.com/mrcute/ http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/reppres/sue/mrcute
 
"MrCute is an acronym for Moodle Repository Create Upload Tag Embed, and is intended as an optional Moodle module and block which allow direct and straightforward access to instititutional and other repositories of online learning materials."
 
==SORTED: Blog with comments==
https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Blog_improvements
 
There is a lot of talk about blogs on the various forums in Moodle.org, and in particular the Moodle implmentation of them.
 
Particularly here:
#http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=94623#p418128 and here:
#http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=44830&mode=3
 
There is an issue tracker here: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-8776 but there doesn't seem to be any sort of focus to the discussion in the details. From the roadmap: comments are coming. What about the other suggestions in the tracker? Where do we find out what is coming and what is planned? How are decisions arrived at?
