Revision as of 01:12, 28 November 2007

This roadmap collects the best information about upcoming features in Moodle. It is not 100% certain - features may change according to available funding and developers.

Version 1.9 - very soon

1.9 is currently in beta. See Release Notes.

The gradebook system will be revamped for performance, switching from our older "pull" model to a "push" model where all modules will now publish grades as necessary into a central table. Support for (local/state) outcomes/goals/competencies is included!
The new Events API provides a way for any code to "hook" into events in a clean, loosely coupled way. It's the foundation of the new Gradebook. A lot of events in Moodle (such as adding a user or a course) now trigger events that developers can hook into.

Version 2.0 - Expected Late 2008

(This list is fluid, depending on available resources)

Definitely

  • Moodle 2.0 will require PHP 5.2 as a minimum, allowing us to clean up the code in some areas. For more info see: gophp5.org

  • Old DB install/upgrade system removed

  • Feedback module
  • New Wiki module (nwiki) - DFWikiteam-UPC
  • Messaging improvements
  • Secure RSS feeds

Hopefully

Support for importing/exporting LD, converting Moodle activities and sequences of activities into a standard format for sharing, and importing standard sequences into Moodle courses
API for integrating external systems for managing student information
Moodle Voice is a project for embedding VoiceXML support into Moodle Core.
We plan to have a very simple export for any Moodle course into IMS LD format, as a proof of concept and to help the community start learning about IMS LD.
