Link to Category FAQ, entry page to all FAQ, existing [[Category:FAQ]]


=Getting your Moodle=
[[de:Hauptseite]]
Roughly the main start-up items here. They should all inform the reader what to do

before they install Moodle and during installation. Once Moodle is successfully
[[eu:Azala]]
installed the person can move on to info in the next main topic 'Managing your
[[fr:Accueil]]
Moodle'
[[hr:Glavna stranica]]
==Download packages==
[[ja:メインページ]]
link to Downloads page and explain the basics, put in useful links
[[zh:首页]]

Items on the 'original' template on [[Installing Moodle]] - [[User site capacities]] [[PHP settings]] [[.htaccess]] [[Site database]] [[Site data directory]]
[[/moodle directory]] [[Installer script]] [[Command line install]] and [[Installation FAQ]]
see existing Docs on [[Apache]], [[IIS]], [[PHP]], [[MySQL]],
[[User_site_capacities]] , [[PHP_settings_by_Moodle_version]], [[Installing_Apache%2C_MySQL_and_PHP]] and more
many of these terms could simply go in the Glossary of Moodle terms
much duplication in the existing menu at [[Installing_Moodle]] clean up the structure,
useful menu items there, useful list of links but please CHECK for quality and relevance to Moodle 2
===Moodle directory===
useful [[Moodle_site_moodle_directory]], check for any changes in Moodle 2
===Moodle site database===
useful -> [[Create_Moodle_site_database]] - changes in Moodle 2?
===Moodle site data directory===

similar [[Creating_Moodle_site_data_directory]]
===Installation FAQ===
[[Installation_FAQ]] - Include installation troubleshoot, common problems, point to [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=28 Installation
Problems] forum !? Some troubleshooting already at [[Installing_Moodle#Troubleshooting]],
CHECK for accuracy of info relating to Moodle 2
consider breaking up FAQ page into sections (eg. before installation, troubleshooting, upgrading ...)
consider also a range of installation guides for different systems, examples:
[[Step by Step Installation on a Mac OS X Server]]
[[Step-by-step Guide for Installing Moodle on Mac OS X 10.4 Client]]
[[Step-by-step Install Guide for Debian]]
[[Step-by-step Install Guide for Ubuntu using apt-get]]
[[Step-by-step Installation Guide for Ubuntu]]
==Upgrading to Moodle 2==
[[Upgrading]] - general page with common info
[[Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.0]] - GU, Feb 11, more for Admins but some useful info here for teachers to be aware of (eg. some 3rd party mods
n/a etc) need a doc with main differences between Moodle 1.x and 2 (maybe need one earlier, not just here...), list of main issues people
need to be aware of when moving 1.9 to 2.0, even examples, links to discussions?
==Site registration==
[[Site_registration]] - OU, Aug 10, good, re-use. Mainly hubs, any other purposes of registration
(eg. registered sites stats, versions running...). Mention that registration of site = registration on MOOCH.
==Try Moodle==
Demo, School Demo, maybe Partner offers?
===Demo sites===
Must mention School Demo, Demo, QA and a [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=17224 course at Moodle.org dedicated to these sites]
this [[Moodle_demo_courses]] is OK but a bit old, incorporate perhaps
Must mention the [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=17224 'Demo site builders' course] on Moodle.org.
===Free Moodle===
M, often asked for! Need a page
==Finding and Selecting A Web Host==
[[Finding_and_Selecting_A_Web_Host]] - GU, Aug 10, detailed, check for currency and accuracy of this information!
could incorporate info from [[Decision_FAQ]]
also very useful:
[[Hosting_for_moodle_teachers]] - GU, Aug 08, very useful, well written
[[Hosting_for_moodle_admins]] - GU, 09, the 'basic' page, solid
[[Hosting_for_moodle_admins_advanced]] - incorporate this with [[[[Hosting_for_moodle_admins]] really...
 
=Managing a Moodle site=
This section is about managing things the entire site. It contains
information about many features only Moodle Admin can manipulate but which may be
of use to users, particularly teachers and administrative staff in various
organisations (eg. managers), [[Category:Administrator]] - useful as a reference point & see what Docs exists but
make Moodle 2 relevant!
==Moodle site - basic structure==
create this, links nicely with glossary above; stuff like context, role,
course, category etc but KEEP IT SIMPLE and use DIAGRAMS, examples
Something along the lines of [http://www.slideshare.net/mark.drechsler/moodle-structural-overview these slides].
These will be very short, introductory, pointing to parts where we expand on each
====Context====
[[Context]] - OU, Nov 09, 1.8 VI, update this, simplify, some info useful
====Role====
  redirect link to  [[Roles and permissions]]
====Category====
M! We DON'T have a page dedicated to Categories yet! I suppose this one is IT ->
[[Add/edit_course_categories]] - OU, Oct 10, some useful general
info on categories,  Admin but good for teacher to know what they are and how they
work borrow from/link to
====Course====
redirect link to [[Managing a Moodle course]]
====Front page====
redirect link to [[Front page]] and items there
===My Profile===
customisable, point location in Navigation,
[[Moodle_2.0_release_notes#User_profile_pages]] - pointers, handy
[[View_profile]] - Jan 11, Admin-focused but some aspects useful,
[[Edit_profile]] - helpful but update to reflect Moodle 2, incorporate
[[Profile]] - disambiguation page only
we need some images and examples, link to
===My Moodle===
[[My_Moodle]] - OU, Feb 11, needs an update to reflect big changes in Moodle 2, user customisation possible etc
[[https://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_2.0_release_notes#My_Moodle_page]] - handy pointers
===Navigation===
Brief intro, mention main navigation options, mention that using 'Back' button may not refresh
eg. the latest forum posts.
This is a redirect from [[Navigation_2.0]]
====Navigation block====
[[Navigation_block]] - G, Jan 11, Moodle 2 specific (of course :D )
[http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=115620 Structure of a Moodle site] - forum thread, started
by Tim Hunt see anything else related in  [[Category:Moodle_2.0]]
====Navigation bar====
[[Navigation_bar]] redirect from [[Breadcrumbs]] - OU, 08, a screenshot would help plus explanation of changes in Moodle 2 since 1.x
====Custom menu items====
M, need a page on Custom menu items - really part of Themes but essentially a good way to navigate hence the inclusion here. Link from themes to here.
====Navigation display====
- M, need a page, perhaps an annotated screenshot of Site administration->Appearance->Navigation page
create a page with screenshots, provide/extend the context on that screen for each item, see the same thing for Blog and Calendar
===Editing settings===
extract from [[Adding/editing_a_course]], mention Settings block (new in Moodle 2), basics of editing, the turn edit on-change/create-set cycle...
====Settings block====
[[Settings_block]] - GU, Nov 10, rightfully mentions Context but [[Context]] page needs work, Context described in-depth elsewhere under Manage site
===='Turn editing on' button====
[[Turn_editing_on]] - OU, Dec 08, basic OK, icons mentioned, update to reflect Moodle 2, mention 'advanced web features' (Ajax)
====Editing icons and menus====
shown and described [[Adding/editing_a_course#Editing_a_course]],
M, no special page(s) on what each icon does or menu (eg. Add a resource...), would be useful. Include new items (eg. Ajax/Adv web button) not
included at [[Adding/editing_a_course#Editing_a_course]]
==Managing site users==
General intro, flag what's in this section...max 200 words, mostly links.
Information mostly for Administrators, but useful for eg. management team to know
what can be done with Moodle
===Accounts===
brief intro to what is essentially an Admin menu: Settings -> Site administration -> Users -> Accounts
====Browse list of users====
[[Browse_list_of_users]] -OU, Jul 09, basics OK, mention different views in Moodle 2, new screenshot
====Bulk user actions====
[[Bulk_user_actions]] - OU, Jul 10, OK, mostly Admin, some use in enrolment
need to mention Cohorts  as an option too in enrolment.

[[Manage roles]] - OU, Sep 09, 1.8 VI (!) update to reflect changes in Moodle 2, handy
menu, in intro already flag how pedagogically useful and powerful they can be,
link to [[Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles]] and more ...
Original template items: [[Assign roles]], [[Override permissions]], [[Manage roles]], [[Allow role assignments]], [[Allow role overrides]],
[[Risks]], [[Role permissions]], [[Roles FAQ]]
====Uses of roles====
[[Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles]] is a start but this one needs expanding to really take Moodle 2 roles for a ride!
====Permissions====
[[Role_permissions]] - OU, Jul 08, 1.7 VI (!), 
although flagged in [[Roles]] need a separate page since we are bunching Roles & Permissions together in this section. Just
a basic intro will do!
====Standard roles====
[[Standard_roles]] - Aug 08, need Manager here

[[Administrator]] - OU, Apr 10, basics OK, would be useful to mention Manager role in Moodle 2 - similar to Admin

of custom roles, would be great to link to actual examples
[[Allow_role_assignments]] - OU, Sep 08, 1.7 VI (!!), old UI for changing roles (tabs)
[[Allow_role_overrides]] - OU, Jul 08, does this all play with M2? Very 'Admin' but important for teachers to know this
can be done, perhaps a screenshot, example, then link to this article from M2 Docs, merge assignments & overrides?
[[Assign_roles]] - GU, Feb 11, useful info but a bit ... disorganised, equal headings make it difficult
[[Override_permissions]] - G, May 10, copy but check and leave mostly as is
need to match Assign system roles item in the menu, new wiki page for this and include on the menu on [[Manage_roles]]
[[Risks]] - OU, Nov 09, any more than these? Include 'how to recognise' &
'what to do'. We are talking tech risks, not risks with innovative teaching methods...
[[Role_permissions]] - OU, Jul 08, 1.7 VI (!),

of custom roles, would be great to link to actual examples
[[Allow_role_assignments]] - OU, Sep 08, 1.7 VI (!!), old UI for changing roles (tabs)
[[Allow_role_overrides]] - OU, Jul 08, does this all play with M2? Very 'Admin' but important for teachers to know this
can be done, perhaps a screenshot, example, then link to this article from M2 Docs, merge assignments & overrides?
[[Assign_roles]] - GU, Feb 11, useful info but a bit ... disorganised, equal headings make it difficult
[[Override_permissions]] - G, May 10, copy but check and leave mostly as is
sample non-standard roles (maybe this would be better in Manage course roles and permissions section...teachers use,
Admins create though)
[[Useful_things_a_teacher_can_do_with_roles]] - GU, Oct 10, excellent, can add more examples, link to them?
[[Inspector_role]] - for providing external inspectors with permission to view all courses (without being required to enrol)
[[Parent_role]] - for providing parents/mentors/tutors with permission to view certain information about their children/mentees/tutees

[[Check_permissions]] equivalent to [[Check_system_permissions]] - OU, Dec 10, basic OK, mention that a teacher can do
this at course and activity level too in Moodle 2
=====Capability report=====
[[Capability_report]] - stub, Moodle 2 but needs all the work
=====Unsupported role assignments=====
[[Unsupported_role_assignments]] - stub, Moodle 2 but needs all the work
===Authentication===
key article [[Authentication]] - it's pretty much a run down on items below but parts not up to date
also [[Authentication_FAQ]]

[[MNet]] - GU, Feb 11, clean up to refer to Moodle 2 only? Make it clear(er) this is NOT a Community Hub (mentioned, briefly).
also [[Moodle_Network_FAQ]] - related, add Q and As. Sorry, no clearer guidelines here...
=====NNTP server=====
[[NNTP_authentication]] - one liner for now, does it need more anyway? Will people know? Will they want to know how? Any special requirements

[[PAM_(Pluggable_Authentication_Modules)]] - basic & brief, links to Linux PAM module there

[[Random_Glossary_Entry_block]] - OU, Jan 09, format 'how to' with other blocks, include example of use, pic there but update, use another,
use pics to show possibility of embedding pics (eg. staff list), video (eg. festival) - opens different purposes

[[Question_contexts]] -G, Mar 10, 1.9 VI, useful diagram of contexts, any 1.9 - 2.x differences
[[Quiz_submission_email_notification]] - GU, Aug 08, 1.9 VI, seems OK but check accuracy, 'strings' section is perhaps more suited for admins??
[[Import_questions]] - G, Nov 10, check if all these still play in Moodle 2, any outstanding issues? Repositories work here? -
''Import and export only had minimal changes to work with the files API in 2.0. The main change is that on export, the file is downloaded
immediately, not copied to course files.--Tim''
[[Export_questions]] - as above
[[Questions_linking_to_files]] - OU, Sep 10, 1.9 VI, obsolete in light of new file management system & interface in Moodle 2 -
[[Quiz_reports]] - GU, Oct 10, need pics of new UI, check accuracy of items, probably with Tim -
''This page is still documenting things as they are in 1.9. There were lots of changes in 2.0. Spec for the changes is here: 
[[Development:Quiz_report_enhancements]], which should provide you the information you need to update the docs. Just check that was

[[Survey_permissions]] - PU, Jan 08, permissions only, 1.7 VI
====Using Survey====
Everything AFTER the activity is open to participants. Things like (if available) viewing, posting, grading, results, analysis,
reports, good practices, creative uses, examples, pedagogical implications etc.

Point the user to items that can be found on the template menu (box on the right) and what they contain.
[[Wiki_module]] - GU, Oct 10, bit verbose in parts but a good overview, need Moodle 2 stuff (eg Comments),
creative practices to go on [[Using Wiki]],
incorporated in a format applied across activities, some pic & link to clip needed, more useful links?
====Wiki settings====
Everything BEFORE the activity is open to participants. Guide the user through the first step of creation and
equivalent of clicking 'edit settings'(include permissions). Use headings, annotated screenshots welcome!
[[Adding/editing_a_wiki]] - OU, Nov 10, the how to section needs cleaning and aligning with practice & format in new Moodle 2 wiki
[[Wiki_permissions]] - PU, Oct 08 (last significant), 1.7 VI, capabilities only
[[Wiki_administration]] - OU, Nov 09, check this in Moodle 2 wiki
====Using Wiki====
[[Viewing_a_wiki]] OU, Jan 11, OK but urgently needs update, pics with Moodle 2 wiki UI
[[Wiki_standard_index_pages]] - OU, Dec 09, update with Moodle 2 UI pics needed, expand to include Comments section etc
====Wiki FAQ====
[[Wiki_module_FAQ]] - PU, Dec 09, stub, needs update badly
===Workshop===
Brief, general intro page (appx 100-300 words; 7 - 20 sentences), visuals most welcome.
Point the user to items that can be found on the template menu (box on the right) and what they contain.
[[Workshop_module]] - G, Dec 10, excellent overview, excellent links, may break the front page up, depending on general format for all activities
====Workshop settings====
[[Adding/updating_Workshop]] - OU, Dec 10, check accuracy but good short explanation of functions. A link to video, pics might help.
Remove the 'stub'
====Using Workshop====
Everything AFTER the activity is open to participants. Things like (if available) viewing, posting, grading, results, analysis,
reports, good practices, creative uses, examples, pedagogical implications etc.
[[Workshop_work_flow]] - OU, Oct 10, good basics, put in some pics to reinforce, example link
[[Workshop_grading_strategies]] - GU, Oct 10, badly needs an example and a pic, maybe link to School Demo example available (like others..).
Consider merging this with [[Workshop_grading]]
[[Workshop_grading]] - OU, Oct 10, good, a link to example, in context, would be very useful
====Workshop FAQ====
[[Workshop_module_FAQ]] - U, complete stub, needs work
==Tracking progress==
Brief info on what conditional etc are and point to items in the menu and what can be found in them.
===Conditional activities===
[[Conditional_activities]] - G, Jan 11, good, 'tricks', 'discussion' & similar things go to [[Using conditional activities]]
[[Development:Conditional_activities]] - useful, point format is great
Distinguish Automatic/Manual
====Conditional activities settings====
how are they set, who sets them (eg Admin must activate sitewide...), all things before they get used by students
====Using Conditional activities====
M, common/creative uses of this function in one place, some good info already at [[Conditional_activities]]...everything AFTER it is set for
students - creatives uses, good practice etc.
====Conditional Activities FAQ====
M, good to have one...
===Activity completion===
= "tell when a part of a course is complete"
[[Activity_completion]] - GU, Jan 11, good, really need to come clean on naming these things, examples and pics or diagrams would be useful
====Activity completion settings====
how are they set, who sets them (eg Admin must activate sitewide...), all things before they get used by students
====Using Activity completion====
M, common/creative uses of this function in one place...
[[Course_completion_status_block]] - G, Feb 11, good start, pic included, maybe a link to example, scenario? Essential link to [[Course_completion]]
====Activity Completion FAQ====
M, good to have one...
===Course completion===
= 'Tell when a course is complete'
[[Course_completion]] - OU, Jan 11, OK, maybe include a graph, mention similarity/differences with conditional activities, has
Manual completion sections, might add Automatic completion
====Course completion settings====
how are they set, who sets them (eg Admin must activate sitewide...), all things before they get used by students
====Using Course completion====
[[Course_completion_tracking]] - OU, Jan 11, basic overview OK, useful link to [[Course_completion]], link to comparison of
course completion/conditional activities (new page?)
[[Course_completion_status_block]] - see above under blocks, linked to
good link to Course completion screencast (Mary's)
could insert HQ clip on Activity completion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6vjgfMae8U (mess though, it has both activity and course completion)
Again, must distinguish this clearly from Conditional activities!
M, common/creative uses of this function in one place...
check [[Self completion block]] too, not sure.
====Course Completion FAQ====
M, good to have it...
==Gradebook==
General overview, link to glossary of terms? Need a good menu on this page...
[[Gradebook]], redirected from [[Grades]] - OU, Dec 10, 1.9 VI, large menu on the side needs a review, rich but confusing for a newcomer,
need to make this whole section a lot more user/teacher-friendly (eg. 'pushed by a module' means little or nothing to thousands who (will)
land here, need lots of links to examples.
[[General_grade_settings]] - OU, Feb 11, 1.9 VI, combine with [[Gradebook]] for a better overview
[[Grade_permissions]] - O, Jan 11, site/course/module level links to capabilities. Incorporate this/link to?
[[Development:Grades#API_for_communication_with_modules.2Fblocks]] - developers only, link may be handy though
related
[[Simplifying_the_gradebook_by_changing_permissions]] - OU, handy but need to be fairly advanced before you can 'simplify'...?
===Grade items===
= 'grading individual activities'
[[Grade_items]] - OU, Aug 10, 1.9 VI, good breakdown (Activity, Outcome, Manual) but need to clear up & offer examples (!)
[[Grade_calculations]] - O, Dec 10, averages, sums, weightings ... link to example(s) would be good
[[Edit_grade_calculation]] re-directed to [[Grade_calculations]] but not sure if that's where I'd go for editing...
===Grade categories===
=  'grading a group of activities'
[[Grade_categories]] - Dec 10, OU, 1.9 VI this thing sorely needs an example!
[[Edit_categories_and_items]] - OU, Mar 10, 1.9 VI, detailed, includes info on legacy grades, moving categories & items,
has pics but examples would be good
[[Category_aggregation]] - GC, Dec 10, 1.9 VI, good, include it, good note about 'empty grades'
[[Grade_category_settings]] - OU, Jan 11, 1.9 VI, from Admin menu, useful to pull some of these things to 'Advanced' for teachers, even though
Admin is the person to do it. Optional
===Scales===
=  'rating answers and contributions'
[[Scales]] - GU, Jun 10, good but must mention use for [[Ratings_2.0]], also automatic entry of ratings to GB + only Teacher can edit (by default,
can change), good for student/peer feedback if students able
[[Ratings_2.0]] - GC, Sep 10, just need a link to example or two, add some 'creative uses'
===Outcomes===
= 'creating standards of competency'
[[Outcomes]] - OU, Jul 10, 1.9 VI, need to clear this up...outcome is not like a (numerical, letter) grade. It's a statement that a person can
do something (eg. ride a bike), not necessarily how well they do it (eg. 73% well). OK, the link with scales ... test this! Maybe I am being
picky because I used outcomes extensively in schools and they never lent themselves well to classical 'grading'
[[Outcomes_report]] - OU, Jul 10, here it is again... how can you have an 'average of outcomes'? (can fly aeroplane, can't drive car -
what's the average? ... arrrrgh
[[Metadata]] - redirect from Development: Outcomes - explained rationale, borrow and link
===Grade letters===
[[Grade_letters]] - GU, Sep 10, pretty good, has pics, 1.9 VI
==Course reports==
general info about types would be useful ...
===Grader report===
= 'see all grades in a course'
[[Grader_report]] - GU, Jan 11, 1.9 VI, main Teacher view
===User report===
= 'in depth, individual report'
[[User_report]] - G, Aug 10, good pic, any changes to this in Moodle 2? "Comments' ?
===Course completion report===
= 'check completion and progress in a course'
[[Course_completion]] - OU, Jan 11, OK, maybe include a graph, mention similarity/differences with conditional activities, see under 'Blocks' as well...
[[Course_completion_status_block]] - G, Feb 11, good start, pic included, maybe a link to example, scenario? Essential link to [[Course_completion]]  
[[Development:Course_completion]] - U, May 10, pre-Moodle 2 release, handy to see where it came from
===Activity log===
= 'check all activities by user in a course'
Participants (People block) -> Activity
check for existing documentation...
===Overview report===
= 'see progress in several courses'
An Admin & Manager item but useful to know for a teacher
From here simply link to article on Overview Report in Managing Moodle site section, details there
[[Overview_report]] - PU, Aug 10, 1.9 VI, not sure about some of the statements made, must mention handy for default Manager in Moodle 2
to get an overview of how students are doing across courses, not automatically available to teachers in a course
 
=Managing content=
brief intro, main points and links
[https://docs.moodle.org/en/index.php?title=Category:Moodle_2.0 Docs Category:Moodle_2.0] - useful for links
==Working with files and folders==
main points, flag what is in this section...
===File handling===
[[File_handling_2.0]] - GC, Jan 11, great start on FAQ, will need an entire section on this, need a page on FTP...
===File bank===
[[File_bank]] - GU, Dec 10, main concepts linked to, pre and 2.0 mentioned, organising page for this section?
===Filepicker===
[[File_picker]] - OU, Jan 11, good start, has pics, link to Filepicker FAQ, improve the table of contents on this page
[[File_picker_FAQ]] - Mar 11, some good common questions to start with, answers need some work...
===Private files===
[[Private_files]] - GU, Jan 11, basics OK, give examples why/when would one use Private files (and not)
[[My_private_files_block]] - related, only a stub with a sentence ATM
===Legacy course files===
useful references:
[[Course_files]] - GC, Jan 11, good explanations, again - maybe we could incorporate this in some sort of FAQ, important to leave
[[Legacy_course_files]] - OU, while correct, the sentence 'use repositories rather than course area files..' will set many off :P
===Differences between Moodle 1.x and 2.x===
Many links to the above: file handling, filepicker, private files etc
this section will need to be very, very good and clear thanks to a lot of heat in the community on this issue.
Useful references to (the past):
[[Course_files]] - GC, Jan 11, good explanations, useful references, workflows
[[Legacy_course_files]] - useful, stress that this is a plugin that Admin decides to turn on-offfor the entire site.
==Working with media==
[[Multimedia_plugins]] - GU, Mar 11, solid but need to clean up and organise better, perhaps briefly explain why have these
(convenience, security...)
===Video===
we don't have a generic, introductory 'Video in Moodle' page?
get info from content section on uploading & repos, multimedia plugins and forum discussions, and of course create anew
do we have a new player?
===Audio===
[[Audio_in_Moodle]] - GU, Oct 10, very good, handy links, organise and clean up, check references to tools/plugins etc not
supported or mentioned here,
[[MP3_player]] - OU, Jul 09, handy although a bit long, re-organise & check for compatibility in Moodle 2
[[Speech_tools]] - Nov 08, looking at a title, I thought I was to do with Accessibility (as in Text-to-Speech & reverse)...
consider renaming/redirecting and re-linking this
[[Podcasting]] - GU, Dec 10, basics very useful, check those tools listed for availability & compatibility, 'Podcast' module is
contrib, not sure if compatible with M2
===Images===
mention TinyMCE, Flickr, find ...
===Embedding content===
linked to HTML editor probably, media plugins, outline ways, pros and cons of embedding various things (eg iframes etc)
we don't have a 'unifying' page on embedding stuff in Moodle - would be very useful as a reference since embedding is so common
==Editing text==
brief intro, key links
===HTML editor===
[[HTML_editor_2.0]] - GC, Dec 10
mention HTML tags in activity names + smileys (all in HTML Settings item for Admins to turn on/off ...) 
===Plain text===
[[Text_editors]] - OU,Dec 10, TinyMCE linked, other editors 'flagged' but none mentioned, examples would be useful
check for Moodle-format, Markdown, Plain ... still there?
===Filters===
here in this section because they filter/do something with content...
each filter to come with 'what is it used for', 'how to' and examples, links, screenshots wherever possible
[[Filters]] - GU, Jan 11, useful containing links to different filters and general info on filters
[[Filters_2.0]] - GU, Dec 10, good general info copied from [[Filters]] and updated with things like course level (new in M2) etc,
could perhaps do with a menu on the side, check for accuracy and how well filters are working in 2.0 (from memory there were
problems with maths notation filter...) 
[[Filters_FAQ]] - OU, Dec 10, can be expanded
[[Development:Filter_enable/disable_by_context]] - important feature & good to get background for those writing the article
[http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=1510 Text Filters] forum
====Activity Names Auto-linking filter====
need a dedicated page for this ...
mentioned and single line on [[Filters]]
====Algebra Notation filter====
[[Algebra_filter]] - OU, Jan 11, bit technical but useful, an image/example of use would be great
====Convert URLs into links filter====
no dedicated page for this exists...
====Database auto-linking filter====
no existing page dedicated to this filter
related:
[[Database_activity_module]] - tiny mention of the filter as an extra note..
[[Adding/editing_a_glossary#Automatically_link_glossary_entries]] - Under Glossaries, mentions glossary only
====Display emoticons as images filter====
[[Emoticon_images_2.0]] - G, Nov 10
[[Display_emoticons_as_images]] - G, Nov 10, David
====Email Protection filter====
Mentioned only in [[Filters]] but no separate page for it. More Admin function anyway but useful for user/teacher to know that emails can
be obfuscated for privacy reasons...
====Glossary auto-linking filter====
[[Adding/editing_a_glossary#Automatically_link_glossary_entries]] - Under Glossaries, mentions glossary only
====HTML tidy filter====
no dedicated page for this filter exists
mentioned at [[Filters]], perhaps not essential to an average user/teacher but ..
====Multimedia Plugins filter====
[[Multimedia_plugins]] - OU, Mar 11, a few handy discussion links, info looks OK & recent but tidy up organisation (eg FAQ?)
into some sort of common template for all filters.
====Multi-Language Content filter====
general outline mentioned at [[Filters]]
[[Multi_language_content]] - Mar 10, technical but then again pitched to Admin... The feature would be handy for language teachers and multi/lang
courses/users
====TeX Notation filter====
[[TeX_notation_filter]] - OU, Oct 10, see how this is working in Moodle 2, there had been issues with maths filters
related:
[[Mathematics]] - G, good page on Maths tools (filters/plugins...), includes Accessibility data, links to DragMath, Wiris etc
[[Using_TeX_Notation]] - G, Dec 10, not sure how much of this plays with Moodle 2 but a great page of descriptions and use
====Word Censorship filter====
[[Word_censorship]] - OU, Apr 10, clean up references to 1.6 & similar, maybe an example...
:D Emily Dickinson -> Emily ****inson [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=79711 forum thread], more like it in Using Moodle teaching forums
==Repositories==
[[Repositories]] - GU, Feb 11, technically good, need more examples and 'plain English', organising menu would be useful on this page
[[Manage_repositories]] redirected to [[Repositories]]
===Alfresco repository===
[[Alfresco_repository]] - one sentence admin stub
===Box.net===
see [[Box.net_portfolio_plugin]] above
===Dropbox===
[[Dropbox]] - Jan 11, brief intro and config notes only
===File system===
[[Moodle 2.0 file repository system]] - could pull things from here...
[[File_system_repository_configuration]] G, Dec 10, Admin focus (eg Moodledata directory - admin only), useful info but shape to user/teacher
===Flickr===
[[Flickr_repository_configuration]] Dec 10, config info OK but check for currency, need uses and examples
===Flickr public===
[[Flickr_Public_Configuration]] - Dec 10, config there, need uses and examples
===Google Docs===
see/merge with stuff under portfolios?
===Mahara===
[[Development:Mahara_Portfolio_Plugin]] - dev page, limited useful info for user/teacher
===Merlot.org===
no Docs page on Merlot yet ...
===Picasa web album===
no Docs page on Picasa yet ...
===Private files===
[[Private_files]] - GU, Jan 11, basics OK, give examples why/when would one use Private files (and not)
[[My_private_files_block]] - related, only a stub with a sentence ATM
Like a few others, Private files is under both Portfolio and Repository heading. Keep it like that? It would make sense to follow menus users
will encounter while working with Moodle, hence inclusion in both. The article itself can describe PF as portfolio and as a repository
===Recent files===
no separate Docs page, mentioned on [[Repositories]]
===Server files===
[[File_Server_Integration]] - Admin, related? mention FTP
===Upload a file===
Going by the menu displayed here, may ditch this item
===URL Downloader===
no page yet, people will wonder what this is (and it's a handy one...)
===Youtube videos===
no dedicated Docs page to YouTube as a repository
===Custom external repositories===
no Docs page to describe this, would be good to explain/show people that it is possible
==Portfolios==
[[Portfolios]] - GU, Dec 10, good intro page, need a menu on the side, 'why/when would you use' link(s)/examples and simple 'how to' somewhere
[[Development:Portfolio_API]] - dev page, useful info there to extract for user/teacher
[[Portfolios_FAQ]] - PU, Aug 10, mere start, complete stub
[[Category:Portfolios]] - category page
===Box.net===
[[Box.net_portfolio_plugin]] -  Aug 10, short & technical only for now
===File download===
M, nothing so far, need a page...
===Google Docs===
many forum threads (dedicated [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=7786 Google Apps integration forum] but no 'Google Docs & Moodle'
starting page to see
a few related:
[[Google_Apps_Integration]] - G, Feb 11, details on integration of Google Apps, excellent
[[Google_gadgets]] - brief technical 'how to'
Google Apps forum already mentioned
===Custom external portfolios===
give an example of such a thing...at least
==Copyright and plagiarism==
===Licences===     
handy [[Licences]] - CC licences links, linked to Hubs but applicable widely,
looking for something related to licenses on offer in File Picker...
===Plagiarism plugin===
[[Plagiarism_Prevention]] - Sep 10, Moodle 2, related [[Development:Plagiarism_API]]
