Requesting Hacks, Docs, Bugs for Hack/Doc Fest: Summer 2010

Hack/Doc Fest: Summer 2010 is coming, we’re looking for  suggestions for bug fixes, documentation and new features for Moodle  that the community would like us to address. You can add your requests by making a comment on this blog post. You don’t have to be attending Hack/Doc Fest to make suggestions — we’d like suggestions from the entire community.

Here are some potential items for Hack/Doc:

  • Moodle 1.9.9: Liberal Arts Edition: We will be doing the 1.9.8 code merge before Hack/Doc Fest, so work on this edition will focus on debugging/testing so that we can release it ASAP after the event.
  • Moodle 2.0 Beta Evaluation: There weren’t many tires to kick on Moodle 2.0 in January; we’ll be revisiting the new version (currently Moodle 2.0 Preview 1)

Registration open for Moodle Hack/Doc Fest: Summer 2010

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest: Summer 2010 will be held June  23-25, 2010 at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. Hack/Doc is being held in conjunction with NITLE Camp’s Moodle User Group Meeting, which takes place Tuesday, June 22, 2010.

As with prior events, Hack/Doc will feature programmers and instructional technologists coming together to improve Moodle. We expect to continue work on CLAMP’s Moodle: Liberal Arts Edition project, fix outstanding Moodle bugs, and craft new training materials.

Questions can be posted as comments below or emailed to Ken Newquist at newquisk@lafayette.edu.

Moodle 1.9.7+LAE1 Update

We’re continuing to work on Moodle 1.9.7+LAE1; we’re in the final stages of bug squashing and testing, and hope to have it posted in the next two weeks.  We’ll also have stand alone versions of Assignment ZIP and Simple File Upload at that time.

Update

We’re now looking at mid-April.
