Moodle 2.7
Project goals
The primary purpose is to update the default text editor in Moodle to a new editor.
This will improve accessibility, and usability, while replacing the now unsupported TinyMCE 3.5.8.
TinyMCE 3.5.8 will be kept in place for the next few releases, but will likely be disabled by default.
Along with the replacement of the Editor, plugins for TinyMCE 3.5.8 that are included as part of the Moodle release will be made compatible with the new Editor.
Considerations
- Accessibility of the editor - is it at or easy to get it to WCAG AA?
- Accessibility of the code produced by the editor - is it at or easy to get it to WCAG AA?
- Maintainability of the links between the editor and Moodle - how much work will we need to do every time we upgrade?
- Appearance of the editor - can it be modified to look like the other toolbars currently in Moodle?
- Stong feature set - does it support the things our users have come to expect already?
- String support - how difficult will it be to allow the strings to change when the Moodle language changes?
- Mobile support - how well does it scale on small screens?
- Plugin support - can our community write plugins easily?
- Browser support - does it support all the browsers Moodle does?
