==Course Formats==
Perhaps there should be something on course formats. We do have several alternatives, such as the hybrid course format (did not Chardelle do that one? I use it in my 1.5) and accordion. There are a number that we could reference, similar to the way the "non standard" blocks are set up in this wiki.

==Site stats==

There should be a page explaining the site stats (also for teachers).--[[User:N Hansen|N Hansen]] 22:50, 18 February 2006 (WST)

:Yes please - [[Site stats]] - we really need documentation for 1.6 features. --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 05:51, 19 February 2006 (WST)

== New User should like this page ==
I am sure everyone is sick of my new user soapbox. I think this is A GOOD EXAMPLE of an opening page for a new administrator user. The Teacher Documentation page could move in this direction. I do appreciate all the hard work everyone is doing here --[[User:chris collman |chris collman]] 00:44, 31 July 2006 (WST)

== Oracle Documentation ==
There is next to zero documentation to help out those who want to (or are obliged to) use Oracle. I've managed to set up a moodle1.7 with an Oracle backend in it's default state, however, it's default state is not happy with 1.8's UTF8 requirement (Oracle is using something it calls "WE8MSWIN1252" encoding, not up to scratch for 1.8). This is more of a how-do-I with Oracle issue than a moodle thing. But I'd love to keep in touch with other admins using Moodle with Oracle on the b-side. See also my comments to [[Installing_Oracle_for_PHP]].

==Logs and Reports==
I changed the primary administrator page -(yikes will Helen approve?) so instead of saying "logs" under "Other" it now says "Reports (administrator) and Logs". I created an "Reports (administrator)" page with links to the 4 sub catagories seen in 1.8. We could do that here but no other section uses the double bullet format, so I opted to link to another page. The "Logs" entry will still link to "Logs". Back in 1.5 teacher reports were called logs. There were and still are a lot of stubs around the subject of logs/reports.

So while I am researching this subject for myself, I figured we might as well start to bring MoodleDocs up to the 1.8 standard in this area for new administrators and teachers . Best --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 08:12, 8 September 2007 (CDT)

:Hi Chris, thanks as always for your documentation contributions :-) You're right about [[Administrator documentation]] needing updating and improving. I'm going to take a look at it too. --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 04:37, 11 September 2007 (CDT)
:Hi Helen, ditto thanks to you. I seem to find myself in the Special pages in my hobby time. Orphans and broken and redirects and disambu's. Leads to interesting pages and links like I tried to correct. Best --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 12:28, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

==Format Change Nov 2008==
This is a frequently visited page and several screens long.
*I sort of forgot where I was and created sub headings for the different systems (oops, should have checked with my friends first). A case sensitive Mac link was broken and it took me a while to make sure I was in the right section. I note that a heading that goes on for two or three screens of scrolling is generally unfriendly.
*This page is also a candidate for the Table of Contents trick, to improve a quick search. I used the link word "Top" because it is short and sweet. Generally, I think this should/could be placed at the end of a major heading section.

It is just fine to revert any and all of my changes. I apologize for not making a comment here first and asking for comments before rushing in. Best to all --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 06:21, 17 November 2008 (CST)
