| == Suggested Change == | | == Link to "Site administration"? == |
| I think I am changing my mind again. Admin and Developer documentation pages are very different than the teacher documentation page. I don't like the index idea below. I would like a complete overhaul of the teacher documentation page to match the other two formats. --[[User:chris collman 2|chris collman 2]] 23:06, 23 August 2006 (CDT) | | Re Site administration - stupid question I know but... how do you get to https://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Site_administration from this Main Page? --[[User:Mary Cooch|Mary Cooch]] 17:49, 13 August 2011 (WST) |

|
| Here is what I (--[[User:chris collman 2|chris collman 2]]) would suggest on this page, my version looks ugly but :)
| | : Hi Mary, AFAIS there's no link yet, see [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Site_administration]]. The available links on the main page for site administration look rather haphazard to me. They seem to be derived from [[Template:Managing a Moodle site items]] which also is used for the menu block on every admin documentation page, e.g. [[Managing a Moodle site]]. So you could add <nowiki>[[Site administration]]</nowiki> to that template. --[[User:Frank Ralf|Frank Ralf]] 23:43, 15 August 2011 (WST) |

| '''Documentation''' | | ==It is no longer new, but always under construction== |
| | I don't think this is new any more and unlike higher priced CMSs our documentation is constantly and instantly being improved (thus it is always under construction). I think we need to change the words. I can only ramble in my attempts. Helen usually comes up with something compact and friendly. |

| Just my two cents worth to make it a little bit more friendly to new user.
| | Very good suggestion from Ralf H, noted here ready for when we focus on Main page improvements: |

| ==Feedback==
| | "Lots of people start looking on documentation at this page https://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Main_page. It would be fine if they find an information about the main pages in other languages in a block here." |
|
| |
|
| You make it very difficult to get started with this thing!
| | --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 23:54, 26 September 2011 (WST) |
| Now you would think the Main Page would be a good place to start. So on the main page I click "About Moodle", which takes me to a page, which in turn talks about PHP and MySQL, but still nothing really about how to get started. So I try clicking on "moodle with us". Now I see a list of which, "Using Moodle" seems like the most obvious choice. This whisks me off to another page where I click on "WELCOME! Are you new? Confused? Please start here!" Finally, I think, we're getting somewhere. Oops, no! Yet another page that tells me nothing. Instead of a detailed introduction, I am pointed to "documentation for Moodle", which I dutifuly click. Where am I now? Right back at the same Home Page I started from; only more frustrated and none the wiser.

| "that everyone may contribute to." is bad English. Better to write "to which everyone may contribute."--[[User:N Hansen|N Hansen]] 20:16, 17 April 2006 (WST)
| | I guess this doc was created for 2.1 and 2.2 and so on. |
| | Or do you plan to start over for 2.1? |

| | :The plan is to copy this wiki to form the basis of the Moodle 2.1 documentation then copy the 2.1 wiki to form the basis of the 2.2 documentation. --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 22:11, 3 October 2011 (WST) |
| 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? --[[User:Delius|Delius]] 09:41, 26 January 2006 (WST)
| |
| | |
| :Thanks for your comments. Please note that [[User:Martin|Martin]] 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 <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[User:Gustav]]</nowiki></code> to your old user page. -- [[User:Helen|Helen]] 17:59, 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]]

| 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? --[[User:Lesli Smith|Lesli Smith]]
| |
| | |
| :Hi Lesli, as requested, [[Teaching Do's]] is now a featured page. Apologies for the delay. --[[User:Helen Foster|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.

| == 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 [[MoodleDocs:Guidelines for contributors|guidelines for contributors]] for more details. --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 05:54, 18 February 2006 (WST)

| 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. --[[User:Art Lader|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. --[[User:Helen Foster|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. --[[User:Art Lader|Art Lader]] 06:28, 23 February 2006 (WST)

| ==Disorienting==
| |
| When I first came to this page, I had no idea that I was looking at a wiki! It would be great to go ahead and put the word 'wiki' somewhere on the page, and maybe on pages linking to this one, so that people know what they're getting into. I expected this page to be the source for official documentation, and so I was very disappointed to click 'Teacher Documentation' and get little more than a quick-start guide. Inside the 'Teacher Documentation' page, though, there is a link to a page which has PDF's of what I would personally call documentation. I could be projecting, but I think others also expect 'documents' rather than 'wikis' when looking for 'documentation'.
| |
| | |
| :The above comment caused me to really look at the Teacher Documentation page, and edit it more than once. I would like to see the Teacher link on the left of this page go to a page that looked similar to the Administrator or Developer link pages. This would help new and old users find things in MoodleDocs quicker. I thank the above author for the quick start comment which encouraged me to make some changes in the Teacher Documentation page until we make a new task orientated page for teachers.
| |
| | |
| :I disagree about the wiki comment. The point is not that it is a wiki, the point is that the document did not meet above author's expectations. I am in mild agreement on that point. With good humor I note: when I first looked at MoodleDocs, "wiki" would be an absolutely meaningless word to me and no help at all. Hey, I've been a new user since C/PM days. :)--[[User:chris collman 2|chris collman 2]] 22:58, 23 August 2006 (CDT)
