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]


There is a lot of really god things we could do on Moodle.  And there are a lot of good plugins.  I'm interested in Core Vanilla Moodle.  Big organisations can make the changes they want.  Small organisations often can survive without them.  Slightly bigger: like they don't link to an SMS and have to create 40 courses (No CSV new course upload), they use self enrolment (No e-mail sent to teacher) they can't install plugins (Like the menu to remove the scroll of death) . . .

==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: 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?

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??
