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.
This page has now moved to https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Roadmap
 
 
== Version 2.0 ==
 
Expected very early 2009.
 
===Major features===
* 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: [http://gophp5.org/ gophp5.org].
 
* File handling improvements - Moodle.com
** [[Development:File API|File API]] - maintains an internal repository of files and governs access to them
** [[Development:Repository API|Repository API]] - allows users to browse external repositories and select files to bring into Moodle
** [[Development:Portfolio API|Portfolio API]] - allows Moodle content to be captured and pushed out to external repositories.
:: These three are separate but complementary so will be developed together.
 
* [[Development:Conditional activities|Conditional activities]] - Moodle.com
::Allowing dependencies and forced paths through activities: ie "You can't do this thing until that thing is completed".
 
* [[Development:Progress tracking|Progress tracking]] - Moodle.com, Catalyst and Google Summer of Code
::AKA Proper competency tracking, so that individuals can have learning plans listing outcomes/courses which are updated when courses are completed.
 
* [[Development:HTML editor 2.0|HTML editor 2.0]]
::Replaces our ageing HTMLarea with a new one that works on more browsers, enforces XHTML strict and better integrates with the new [[Development:File API|File API]]
 
* [[Community hub]] interfaces - Moodle.com and others
::Makes it easy for users to find and navigate other systems and external Moodle repositories, leveraging the Moodle Network in various ways.
 
* [[Development:Web_services|Standard Web Services Layer]] - UPC and moodle.com
::Standard set of core API functions made available via SOAP and XML-RPC
 
* Old DB install/upgrade system removed - Moodle.com
:: The deprecated system for installing or upgrading database entries used in Moodle < 1.7 will be completely removed, while supporting only the new XML based database scheme introduced in 1.7.
 
* [[Development:dmllib 2.0|dmllib 2.0]] - Moodle.com
:: MDL-14679 Database access is to be refactored so that: we can use prepared statements everywhere for increased security and some performance, we put datalib functions in a class to allow better unit tests (mock db), and remove the need for slashes in userspace.  This will cause breakage for 3rd party modules (but [[Development:dmllib_2.0_migration_docs|fixing them won't be too hard]]).
 
* [[Development:Pagelib_2.0|Pagelib 2.0]], [[Development:Blocks_2.0|Blocks 2.0]]
:: refactor Blocks and Pages using contexts to allow blocks to go anywhere in Moodle with better control.
 
* [[Development:Course_completion|Course completion]] 
:: interface that allows teachers to specify exactly when a course should be considered finished for each user
 
* [[Feedback module]] - Andreas Grabs
:: Polished and included as a core module.
 
* [[NWiki roadmap|New Wiki]] module (nwiki) - DFWikiteam-UPC
:: To be cleaned up and included as a core module.
 
* [[Development:Quiz_report_enhancements|Quiz report enhancements]] - The Open University
:: Major improvements to the quiz reports, especially regrading and item analysis.
 
* [[Student projects/Blog improvements|Blog 2.0]]
:: Add commenting to blogs (MDL-8776), as well as support for external blogs
 
* [[Development:Messaging_2.0|Messaging 2.0]]
:: Refactor messaging to use plugins for input and output, controlled by users
 
* [[Student projects/Secure RSS feeds|Secure RSS feeds]]
:: Obscure RSS feed URLs using private keys, controlled by users.
 
* More tagging
:: Tagging of courses, activities and other things
 
* AJAX for gradebook User Interfaces
:: A host of UI improvements to enhance usability and speed
 
===Hopefully===
* [[Student Information API]]
::API for integrating external systems for managing student information
* [[Development:Voice|Moodle Voice]]
:: Moodle Voice is a project for embedding VoiceXML support into Moodle Core.
* [[Learning Design export]]? - Moodle.com and Open University of The Netherlands
::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.
* [[Turnitin Integration]] - Dan Marsden with support from Catalyst NZ
* Improve usability
:: Usability improvements for new and established users through increased field testing, selective feature availability, and research (such as the GSOC project).
