Talk:GIFT format

Would it be useful to include the GIFT Format description from the Help here? Seems like this would be a good place for this information, on the other hand having to update it 2 places might be problematic.

Hi Rudy, please feel free to copy information from the GIFT format help file. Having the information in two places can be helpful sometimes, and it's unlikely that the help file will be changed in future. --Helen Foster 15:06, 27 March 2008 (CDT)

This page is getting really messy, note to self to fix :-) --Howard Miller 06:20, 30 March 2008 (CDT)

Do these belong in M&P or Tracker?

I use the Word macro to create GIFT files and like it. Of course I have tweaked mine slightly. I wonder if each of these types should be located in M&P instead of posted in various places. Could be a single GIFT tools entry, with links to various tools in the description. Or create a GIFT Open Office Writer Tool, GIFT Word Tool, GIFT Excel Tool etc. Don't know how or where the SOP is to store these files for access in M&P. --Chris collman 06:48, 4 November 2008 (CST)

Sounds like a good idea to me. They can even be stored in the Tools area of contrib if people want them versioned.--Tim Hunt 18:42, 4 November 2008 (CST)

Hi Chris, perhaps your GIFT tools could be stored in the contrib docs en folder? If so, please send them to docs@moodle.org. --Helen Foster 01:13, 5 November 2008 (CST)
