This page is protected, so i can't edit it to add a link to the french version.
As usual Moodle HQ and our incredible community have brought together work from all corners of the globe to this release. Scalable, responsive and private, Moodle 2.7 is our best release yet. Here are some highlights of this release, and you can view screencasts of some of these highlights on the official MoodleHQ YouTube page: [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxcO_MFWQBDcxGul-CY1SiOke6Jkg2NPK Moodle 2.7 Release Highlights Playlist].
Would you be kind to add it, linking to the (french) page "Nouveautés de Moodle 3.0" (and do the equivalent in documentation for version 2.9 and 3.1).
Thanks, --[[User:Séverin Terrier|Séverin Terrier]] ([[User talk:Séverin Terrier|talk]]) 21:42, 23 May 2016 (AWST)
