More hierarchy

Hi Helen, I think this wiki is very useful and I would like to thank you for the work you are putting into it. I like your navigation boxes on the module pages. I have a suggestion for extending these: I think it would be nice to have an extra link that allows one to go higher up in the hierarcy to Teacher_documentation. What do you think? --Gustav Delius 17:48, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Hi Gustav, thanks for your kind words. Your contributions to the documentation are most welcome. Please feel free to edit Template:Quizzes or any other template page. You may also wish to consider further use of category pages e.g. Category:Teacher for navigation. -- Helen Foster 18:26, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Do you monitor all talk pages?

Helen, I have posted another question for you on Talk:mod/quiz/index. Do you get alerted to anything I put on any talk page or should I post on this page if I want you to see it? --Gustav Delius 18:01, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Hi Gustav, please note that I often check Recent changes or the rss feed. --Helen Foster 18:26, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Yes, the Recent changes page is very useful. You can tell that I have never used a wiki intensively before. Thanks for your tips. --Gustav Delius 18:35, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Hey, let's discover the wiki way together! :-) --Helen Foster 00:24, 27 January 2006 (WST)

Moodle profile

Helen- I think you should link to your moodle profile like Martin does (assuming you have one, which I assume <grin>). -- D.I. 29Jan06 Wow, you're fast.. .or I'm confused. --D.I. 29Jan06

Hi D.I. thanks for your suggestion, which Urs Hunkler seem to be following up! ;-) --Helen Foster 05:00, 30 January 2006 (WST)

German moodle docs possible?

Hello Helen,

thank you very much for these nice and structured doc pages. When do you plan to launch a german part of the docs.moodle.org pages? I ask these question because i can translate some of the english doc pages to german.

Greetings Christoph

Hi Christoph, thanks for your kind offer of translation. Please email docs AT moodle DOT org so I may get in touch with you easily when the German Moodle documentation is launched. --Helen Foster 05:17, 30 January 2006 (WST)

German User Docs

Thanks a lot, Helen, for all your work. I would also like to help with the German version.

Ulrike

Hi Ulrike, thanks for your kind offer too. MoodleDocs in other languages will happen soon, for sure! --Helen Foster 08:30, 31 January 2006 (WST)

Documentation for different versions

Helen

Is there a mechanism for specifying which version of Moodle a particular document refers to? If, for instance, a feature is only available in version 1.6, how would a 1.5.3 user know they couldn't follow these instructions?

Equally, if something is done differently in two versions, how would we stop an edit war breaking out between 1.5.3 and 1.6 users?

I appreciate this probably isn't an issue just yet, but it's possible it may become one in later versions.

Cheers,

Hi ChrisF, thanks for highlighting the issue of differences in Moodle versions. Perhaps a Moodle 1.6 template, inserted using the code {{Moodle 1.6}}, may be used to show features specific to Moodle 1.6. What do you think? --Helen Foster 04:22, 4 February 2006 (WST)

Good idea. I think that would clear it up nicely. Chris Fryer 18:08, 7 February 2006 (WST)
