* In my last comment in the bug, two possible approaches are suggested. I'd like HQ to suggest one of these which would be acceptable, or else suggest an alternative approach that we could implement.
* I think HQ should also reconsider whether they really want to make it verboten to display username, even if there is a capability restricting that display; I'm certain that lots of people will want to do this, and as mentioned in the bug there are at least a few people specifically asking for it in forums etc. They probably don't want to be told 'eh you can copy your username into the idnumber field' even thought that is an acceptable solution for the OU.

Can we add a per-activity option that controls whether the intro displays below the link on the course page.

Introduction

In relation to MOODLE #DSU-719107, the Open University (UK) agreed to create a prioritised list of developments which we would like to discuss with Moodle HQ developers. Our aim is to seek agreement on a way forward for each of these developments and a decision on whether these can be coded by OU developers and integrated into core through the normal Moodle workflow, or whether they are best coded elsewhere.
