In Moodle 1.8 onwards, administrators are able to create new user profile categories and fields. Profile fields may be a menu of choices or text input and may be required or not.
New profile fields will appear on each user’s profile page (and on the user sign-up page in Moodle 1.9 onwards).
For one thing, this means that U.S. users will finally be able to have valid addresses, including *states*, without which an address can be meaningless. (Which state is Springfield in? Oh, 15 of them!)
