Hi Helen! I noticed that you reverted my edits on [[Template:Book]] and [[Template:Assignments]]. You were right -- I didn't realise that the [[MoodleDocs:Styling|style]] doesn't match [[MoodleDocs:Style guide|moodle.org style]]. However, the current template doesn't look right either. It should float to the right instead of occupying a substantial part of the upper screen (for eg. on [[Calculated question developer docs]] page) -- this wil provide easier navigation. Also, the tempalate should be colorful and/or bordered -- this looks more attractive and the reader can understand that it is not a part of the article. May be we can have orange or similar colored templates (such as [[Template:Large Installations]] and [[Template:excerpted from Jason Cole]]) that match with moodle.org style? Is there any official style documentation? Is there a moodle.org style guide which describes styles for templates -- I couldn't find one?

More hierarchy

Hi Helen, I think this wiki is very useful and I would like to thank you for the work you are putting into it. I like your navigation boxes on the module pages. I have a suggestion for extending these: I think it would be nice to have an extra link that allows one to go higher up in the hierarcy to Teacher_documentation. What do you think? --Gustav Delius 17:48, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Hi Gustav, thanks for your kind words. Your contributions to the documentation are most welcome. Please feel free to edit Template:Quizzes or any other template page. You may also wish to consider further use of category pages e.g. Category:Teacher for navigation. -- Helen Foster 18:26, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Do you monitor all talk pages?

Helen, I have posted another question for you on Talk:mod/quiz/index. Do you get alerted to anything I put on any talk page or should I post on this page if I want you to see it? --Gustav Delius 18:01, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Hi Gustav, please note that I often check Recent changes or the rss feed. --Helen Foster 18:26, 26 January 2006 (WST)
Yes, the Recent changes page is very useful. You can tell that I have never used a wiki intensively before. Thanks for your tips. --Gustav Delius 18:35, 26 January 2006 (WST)
Hey, let's discover the wiki way together! :-) --Helen Foster 00:24, 27 January 2006 (WST)

Moodle profile

Helen- I think you should link to your moodle profile like Martin does (assuming you have one, which I assume <grin>). -- D.I. 29Jan06 Wow, you're fast.. .or I'm confused. --D.I. 29Jan06

Hi D.I. thanks for your suggestion, which Urs Hunkler seem to be following up! ;-) --Helen Foster 05:00, 30 January 2006 (WST)

German moodle docs possible?

Hello Helen,

thank you very much for these nice and structured doc pages. When do you plan to launch a german part of the docs.moodle.org pages? I ask these question because i can translate some of the english doc pages to german.

Greetings Christoph

Hi Christoph, thanks for your kind offer of translation. Please email docs AT moodle DOT org so I may get in touch with you easily when the German Moodle documentation is launched. --Helen Foster 05:17, 30 January 2006 (WST)

German User Docs

Thanks a lot, Helen, for all your work. I would also like to help with the German version.

Ulrike

Hi Ulrike, thanks for your kind offer too. MoodleDocs in other languages will happen soon, for sure! --Helen Foster 08:30, 31 January 2006 (WST)

Documentation for different versions

Helen

Is there a mechanism for specifying which version of Moodle a particular document refers to? If, for instance, a feature is only available in version 1.6, how would a 1.5.3 user know they couldn't follow these instructions?

Equally, if something is done differently in two versions, how would we stop an edit war breaking out between 1.5.3 and 1.6 users?

I appreciate this probably isn't an issue just yet, but it's possible it may become one in later versions.

Cheers,

Chris Fryer 19:20, 1 February 2006 (WST)

Hi ChrisF, thanks for highlighting the issue of differences in Moodle versions. Perhaps a Moodle 1.6 template, inserted using the code {{Moodle 1.6}}, may be used to show features specific to Moodle 1.6. What do you think? --Helen Foster 04:22, 4 February 2006 (WST)
Good idea. I think that would clear it up nicely. Chris Fryer 18:08, 7 February 2006 (WST)

Hungarian Moodle Docs

Hello Helen, I may be knocking at the wrong door. Could you please create a folder for me to start Moodle documentation in Hungarian please? Thanks a lot. Karoly

(Karoly Fabricz, kfabricz AT vnet DOT hu)

Hi Karoly, thanks for your kind offer. Please read the information on starting Moodle Docs in another language. I'll be in touch soon. --Helen Foster 17:09, 15 March 2006 (WST)

Belarusian Docs is possible?

Dear Helen,

I would like to manage Moodle documentation on Belarusian. Could you create a folder for me to start Moodle documentation in Belarusian, please? Аlphabetic acronym of Belarusian language is be.

Sincerely, Maryia Davidouskaia (maryia at iatp dot by)

Hi Maryia, thanks for your kind offer. As I said to Karoly, please read the information on starting Moodle Docs in another language, and remember that the more people that are involved in creating the documentation, the better it will be. I'll be in touch soon. --Helen Foster 17:09, 15 March 2006 (WST)

Ok, You are a STAR!

Template styles

Hi Helen! I noticed that you reverted my edits on Template:Book and Template:Assignments. You were right -- I didn't realise that the style doesn't match moodle.org style. However, the current template doesn't look right either. It should float to the right instead of occupying a substantial part of the upper screen (for eg. on Calculated question developer docs page) -- this wil provide easier navigation. Also, the tempalate should be colorful and/or bordered -- this looks more attractive and the reader can understand that it is not a part of the article. May be we can have orange or similar colored templates (such as Template:Large Installations and Template:excerpted from Jason Cole) that match with moodle.org style? Is there any official style documentation? Is there a moodle.org style guide which describes styles for templates -- I couldn't find one? Utkarshraj Atmaram 17:40, 30 March 2006 (WST)
