Note:

If you want to create a new page for developers, you should create it on the Moodle Developer Resource site.

Adjust the number of course per page of the course listing

Of course this is totally possible; however, it is a setting listed under front page settings which does not seem to me to be the most intuitive place for it. I would expect it to be somewhere under courses but the argument could be made that you really only browse courses from the front page. Everywhere else you are in a particular course. In any case, this might be a neat area to explore using AJAX.

How does Moodle handle long lists?

There should be an option for # of entries per page, ways of sorting and filtering, etc.

Comparison of the various long lists (courses, students, participants, questions, etc.)
