Project goals
- Improve accessibility of the Moodle Forums
- Make the forums more modern in appearance
- Make the code in the forums module more manageable
- Implement renderers and renderables
Considerations
- Backwards compatibility
- Creating sub-plugins for "Forum Types" (Q&A etc) and "Forum Formats"
- Subscription management
- Editor Lite - a cut down version of Atto for "Reply inline"
Details
At present the moodle forums are the oldest part of the code base, and lag behind the rest of moodle in a big way.
We hope to implement a new interface for the forums, based on the accessible view from MoodleRooms' HSU Forum, and add some new functionality over time.
