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.
- Portfolio API - Enovation.ie / Moodle.com
- Interface Moodle activities and repositories to help produce portfolios for internal assessment AND external publication. The first Portfolio plugin implemented will be Mahara.
- Repository API - Moodle.com
- Abstract all file operations to an API that allows plugins for different external repositories.
- Conditional activities - Moodle.com
- Allowing dependencies and forced paths through the content.
- 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.
