New page

'''Implementation instructions for [[Wizard|Wizard]]'''

{{Work in progress|info= ''To give new developers a head start, add advice here on how to implement the recommended elements.'' (Of course, the APIs should be good enough to not require lots of extra code.) 

As an usability practitioner, the implementation pages like this are where I am hoping to have developers have a play: there is probably some documentation available already about how to implement many of these things, but the developers who are already 'in' know how to find it best. 

So add links to appropriate places - or if need be, implementation pages like this are perfect placeholders to put also new information about how to implement the recommended moodle UI elements. --[[User:Olli Savolainen]] 22:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)}}
