Development talk:Gradebook improvements
Overlook problem partially solve after the database freeze - workaround was to recalculate the grades on the fly so that users that can the hidden grades are ignored. This approach is expensive and can not be used in conditional activities, grade exports, etc.
Solution is to add new flag into grade categories - aggregate hidden grades. Having two values for each grade would be too complex, selective agrragation should solve most of the problems and should be reasonably backwards compatible.

Exports: more flexibility
Two aspects of the 1.9 export plugin have been criticised by some of Catalyst's clients:
- the fact that grade exports are tied to a course
- the default user profile columns are not all needed and some custom ones would be necessary
Therefore I propose the following changes:
- removing the export plugin dependency on a single course by converting to an array of courses (see MDL-17420)
- making the user-related columns customisable (see MDL-17346)

Gradebook does not consider groupings functionality
Student in gradebook view all grade items, but must view only grade items thats belong to his groiping (see MDL-13868).
