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.
{{Moved_to_dev_docs}}
 
== Version 1.9 - Expected September 2007 ==
''1.9 is currently in beta.  See [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Release_Notes Release Notes]
* [[Development:Grades|Gradebook development]] - Moodle.com and OU
::The gradebook system will be revamped for performance, switching from our older "pull" model to a "push" model where all modules will now publish grades as necessary into a central table.  Support for (local/state) [[Development:Outcomes|outcomes/goals/competencies]] is included!
* [[Development:Events|Events API]] - Moodle.com
::The new Events API provides a way for any code to "hook" into events in a clean, loosely coupled way.  It's the foundation of the new Gradebook.  A lot of events in Moodle (such as adding a user or a course) now trigger events that developers can hook into.
* [[Tags]] - part of the [[Student_projects/Social_Networking_features|Google SOC Social Networking]] project by Luiz Cruz will make it's way into 1.9, allowing users to tag themselves and create interest pages around those tags, bringing information together from a variety of sources.
* [[Question_Engine_Changes_in_Moodle_1.9|Improved question bank]] - Jamie Pratt funded by [http://www.fun.ac.jp/en/ Future University Hakodate].
** Allows questions to be shared by the whole site, a course category, a singe course, or be kept private to a single module. More control over who can do what to each question.
** [[Questions linking to files|Also improved management of files linked to from questions.]]
** See also the original development plan here :[[Development:Plan_to_Improve_Flexibility_of_Question_Category_Sharing_and_Permissions]]
* Other Quiz/Question improvements:
** A quiz can now [[Quiz submission email notification|send emails when an attempt is finished]] - a confirmation to the student, a notification to all teachers, or both. (Implemented by Graham Miller of [http://www.webenhanced.com.au/ Web Enhanced Solutions]).
** Some slight improvements to quiz layout. See [http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-10374 MDL-10374] for details. Theme designers please note.
** Gift Import/Export format can now handle Essay and Description question types.
** Third party question types can now implement Moodle XML and other import and export formats (Implemented by Howard Miller).
** Multiple choice questions now show the feedback for all the options to students on the review page after the attempt is over.
* [[Development:Feedback|Integrate Feedback module]]?
 
== Version 2.0 - Expected Mid 2008 ==
 
(This list is fluid, depending on available resources)
 
===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: [http://gophp5.org/ gophp5.org]
* [[Development:Portfolio API]] - Enovation.ie
::Interface Moodle activities and repositories to help produce portfolios for internal assessment AND external publication.  The first Portfolio plugin implemented will be [http://www.mahara.org/ Mahara].
* [[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.
* [[Repository API]] - Open University, Moodle.com, Humboldt and Warp Networks
::Abstract all file operations to an API that allows plugins for different external repositories
* Old DB install/upgrade system removed
:: 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:Groups_documentation_for_module_developers|New groups]] - Open University
::Site-wide groups, reusable groups, and assigning activities to groups are the major improvements being developed
 
===Hopefully===
* Integrate [[Dfwiki|nwiki]]
* [[IMS Learning Design]] - Moodle.com
::Support for importing/exporting LD, converting Moodle activities and sequences of activities into a standard format for sharing, and importing standard sequences into Moodle courses
* [[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.
