I'm interested in the process of getting small fixes into core 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, after my list in 2009 and 2010.  There is some progress, but it's been 2 steps forward, one step back:
#cohorts (but to make a cohort you need to chose each of the 200 names individually)
#blog comments (But the have removed blogs posts attached to courses)
#themes (but there is no one basic theme with the basic features in it in standard with Moodle now)
#better import and export of activities and resources (at a cost of difficulties in the file management)
#filters (but a lot of hard coding so they are inflexible)
#repositories (sort of)


#[http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=149845 Page Naming etc 2.0]
There is a lot of really good 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) . . .

==Activity Locking (Now called "Conditional Activities" . . .)==
Timed release for activities is a strongly desired feature.
 
There is a script for 1.9.x that works.

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?


Forum Posts:
I worry that the future development of Moodle will head down the lines of Mobile (taking a lot of resources from the basics) or Distros (like ELIS or Totara) or OU-type customisations.  MoodleHQ may just not have the time or inclination to get the small helpful fixes into Moodle core.


===Export at end of term===
Footnote: Mobile is interesting: at a Moodle workshop in Singapore in early June I was basically in a room full of folk with iPhone. It was a serious question "Moodle for Mobile"  but really only the forumsI've changed my opinion: maybe Moodle for Mobile is needed.

[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.

The cludge/fix for a lot of items: group assessments in categories and hide them as needed.  This is the problem of the student names list.  The header problem: creagte groups: display one group at a time.
===File management: Multiple File Upload===
 
Facebook and Flickr have it, why not Moodle.  :)
Old solution: The question of reprinting headers at regular intevals on the page. http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=91329#p454697

===Multiple linking all at once===
If you have a bunch of files in your Files area, then there should be a better way to link them than one by one.  Maybe a GMail option "Add another file" with the three aspects - title, description, browse . . .
Or maybe a tick box option in the Files area that fills a form with filenames and leaves some blanks.  This will need a file API change

# 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] )

Revision as of 02:28, 3 June 2011

I'm interested in the process of getting small fixes into core 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, after my list in 2009 and 2010. There is some progress, but it's been 2 steps forward, one step back:

  1. cohorts (but to make a cohort you need to chose each of the 200 names individually)
  2. blog comments (But the have removed blogs posts attached to courses)
  3. themes (but there is no one basic theme with the basic features in it in standard with Moodle now)
  4. better import and export of activities and resources (at a cost of difficulties in the file management)
  5. filters (but a lot of hard coding so they are inflexible)
  6. repositories (sort of)

There is a lot of really good 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) . . .

I worry that the future development of Moodle will head down the lines of Mobile (taking a lot of resources from the basics) or Distros (like ELIS or Totara) or OU-type customisations. MoodleHQ may just not have the time or inclination to get the small helpful fixes into Moodle core.

Footnote: Mobile is interesting: at a Moodle workshop in Singapore in early June I was basically in a room full of folk with iPhone. It was a serious question "Moodle for Mobile" but really only the forums. I've changed my opinion: maybe Moodle for Mobile is needed.

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??
