| | |
| This [[:Category:Developer|Developer]] section of Moodle Docs is aimed at developers who contribute to the Moodle code, plugins, themes, and so on.
| |
| | |
| * If you manage a Moodle site, [[Administrator documentation]] may suit your needs better.
| |
| * If you teach using Moodle, try [[Teacher documentation]].
| |
| <br />
| |
| <p class="note">'''Note:''' New developer documentation pages should be added to the ''Development namespace'' by typing <code>Development:</code> before the new page name i.e. <code><nowiki>[[New page name]]</nowiki></code>. If you are a developer, you probably want to change your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] to include the Development namespace in searches.<br /><br />
| |
| | |
| A page may be added to the Developer category by adding the template <code><nowiki>{{CategoryDeveloper}}</nowiki></code> to the bottom of the page. - If required, you can use <code><nowiki>[[Category:Sort key]]</nowiki></code> to provide a sort key other than the default page name.</p>

| ==Plans for the future==
| |
| | |
| Ideas for and details of planned future features of Moodle are initially discussed on the forums in the [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=5 Using Moodle] course at moodle.org. That developer discussions are intermixed with user discussions in the same forums may seem strange at first but is one of the reasons for the success of Moodle. It is important that both end-users and developers discuss the future features together.
| |
| | |
| Once ideas begin to crystallize on the forums they can be summarized in this wiki, either as part of the [[Roadmap|roadmap]] or in the form of [[Developer notes|developer notes]]. These pages then form the basis for further discussion in the forums.
