Hi Howard, sorry for taking ages to respond - haven't been here in a while. You're right, a2enmod is a bit debian-specific, but the directives to be placed in the configuration are not. I think apache 1 and 2 differ on how to enable modules and a2enmod applies to version 2, but I'm more of a tinkerer than an expert there :) I'll edit it in again, but with that caveat. - Matt Gibson 08:37, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

Moodle XML
Hello Howard,
I learned from http://www.qedoc.org/en/index.php?title=Moodle_XML_format that you are the creator (maintainer, guru...) of the Moodle XML format. I have started a XML FAQ page (https://docs.moodle.org/en/XML_FAQ) and an Import and export FAQ page (https://docs.moodle.org/en/Import_and_export_FAQ) to collect all the scattered information regarding importing and exporting Moodle content namely in XML format.
I think it is really important for Moodle to have a well defined, standardized Import/Export API so one can easily create content outside of Moodle XML is the obvious candidate for such a format.
At the moment I am working on creating a XML Schema for Moodle XML incorporating all the information from the Moodle XML documentation. That would help users and third party tool developers to validate Moodle XML files before importing them into Moodle.
I have further plans for creating some XSLT stylesheets for converting quiz content via Moodle XML into human readable formats as this is a frequent request in the forums.
And it would be very useful to have tools for using word processing or spreadsheet software to create Moodle XML (there are already some tools out there for this; and some using the GIFT format for export).
As this is very much still work in progress I would appreciate any advice. For example for the best place on docs.moodle.org to document this ongoing work.
