| | |
| Have you any ideas for new features you'd like included in Moodle? If so, please
| |
| | |
| # Start by [http://moodle.org/public/search/ searching moodle.org] to check whether someone else has had the same idea. The Moodle community is very large, so it's quite likely you'll find someone else with the same idea as you ;-)
| |
| # Either join an existing discussion about your idea or start a new discussion in an appropriate [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=5 Using Moodle forum].
| |
| # Assuming others agree with your idea, [http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa create a new issue in the tracker], selecting 'New feature' as the issue type, then post the issue number in your discussion thread, and encourage people to vote for it to be implemented.
| |
| | |
| ==What happens next?==
| |
| | |
| # The [http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10512 list of most voted-for new features] is regularly reviewed by Moodle HQ and other core developers.
| |
| # Promising ideas are added to the [[Roadmap]] (depending on funding availability) and/or to the list of [[Projects for new developers]].
| |
| | |
| ==How to maximize the chance of your idea being implemented==
| |
| | |
| Ideas with lots of votes are more likely to be implemented, however votes are not the only deciding factor.
| |
| | |
| The M in Moodle stands for modular, and so the easiest ideas for new developers to implement are new modules and plugins, such as course formats (e.g. GSoC 2006 project [[Student projects/AJAX course format|AJAX course format]]), question types (e.g. GSoC 2007 project [[Student projects/New question types|New question types]]) or gradebook reports (e.g. GSoC 2008 project [[Student projects/Animated grade statistics report|Animated grade statistics report]]).
| |
| | |
| If you're able to provide funding for your idea to be implemented, please submit a ticket at the [http://moodle.com/helpdesk/ Moodle.com helpdesk] or contact a [http://moodle.com/custom/ Moodle Partner specializing in custom development].
