Developer notes
From MoodleDocs
Note: New developer documentation pages should be added to the Development namespace by typing Development: before the new page name i.e. [[New page name]].
This area is for developers to work on various bits of code and documentation as necessary. Once material has matured it should be linked to from the main Developer documentation page.
