Introduction
In relation to MOODLE #DSU-719107, the Open University (UK) agreed to create a prioritised list of developments which we would like to discuss with Moodle HQ developers. Our aim is to seek agreement on a way forward for each of these developments and a decision on whether these can be coded by OU developers and integrated into core through the normal Moodle workflow, or whether they are best coded elsewhere.

The list
Fix the page name for user profile page within course
Can we fix the page name for user profile page within course so that it is not the same as course view page, so we can have different blocks there.
Lead OU developer: sam
Date: 16 May 2011
Status: We need agreement on how to implement this.
- Tracker: MDL-25189
Accessibility enhancements
These relate to keyboard and screenreader access.
Lead OU developer: sam & jenny
Date: 16 May 2011
Status: HQ have already implemented some work on this. We need confirmation as to whether HQ are intending to complete the changes by 2.1 release.
Way to add username, idnumber into lists of users
Lead OU developer: sam
Date: 16 May 2011
Status: Already implemented, rejected, some discussion; needs decision about way forward.
- Tracker: MDL-26647
- In my last comment in the bug, two possible approaches are suggested. I'd like HQ to suggest one of these which would be acceptable, or else suggest an alternative approach that we could implement.
- I think HQ should also reconsider whether they really want to make it verboten to display username, even if there is a capability restricting that display; I'm certain that lots of people will want to do this, and as mentioned in the bug there are at least a few people specifically asking for it in forums etc. They probably don't want to be told 'eh you can copy your username into the idnumber field' even thought that is an acceptable solution for the OU.
Description/intro display for modules
Can we add a per-activity option that controls whether the intro displays below the link on the course page.
Lead OU developer: sam
Date: 16 May 2011
Status: We need agreement that it is OK to implement this, then sam will code it.
- Tracker: MDL-27001
Glossary: can we add group support and a few other misc enhancements
Lead OU developer: sam
Date: 16 May 2011
Status: We need agreement that it's ok to implement this
- Tracker: MDL-10728 (Group support for glossary)
- Tracker: MDL-26501 ('Full without author' shouldn't show 'Browse by author' tab)
- Tracker: MDL-27528 (Default view)
Twitter profile field
This can already be done with a custom profile field, but we'd like to move the field up with the other IM fields.
Lead OU developer: jenny
Date: 16 May 2011
Status: We need agreement on how to implement this, I am happy to code it. See Dan's concerns in tracker issue about adding more fields to the user table.
- Tracker: MDL-17593
Ability to turn off forum module through admin configuration
Can we allow users to turn off the 'Forum' module using the eye icon (it's greyed out) and make this take effect to hide the forum posts tab from user profile.
