Moodle Hack/Doc Fest at Furman University is a month away and 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’s our short list of projects for Hack/Doc Fest:

• Evaluating what works — and doesn’t work — in Moodle 2.0, with a particular eye toward third party blocks, modules and themes as well as our own custom code.
• Identifying what new documentation is needed for Moodle 2.0.
• Fixing bugs in the Moodle Liberal Arts edition.
• Working on unit testing scripts to help automate testing new Moodle releases.

Registration is now live for Moodle Hack/Doc Fest: Winter 2011, which will be held January 4-6, 2011 at Furman University  in Greenville, SC.

As with prior events, Hack/Doc will feature programmers and instructional technologists coming together to improve Moodle. Our short-list of Moodle work includes:

• Evaluating what works — and doesn’t work — in Moodle 2.0, with a particular eye toward third party blocks, modules and themes as well as our own custom code.
• Identifying what new documentation is needed for Moodle 2.0.
• Fixing bugs in the Moodle Liberal Arts edition.
• Working on unit testing scripts to help automate testing new moodle releases.

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest is a free event. Attendees will need to pay for their own transportation, lodging, and dinner. In addition to the conventional Hack/Doc Fest, we’re planning on coordinating a virtual component to Hack/Doc Fest that will allow people to participate from their own campuses on a limited basis.

The registration deadline is December 15, 2010.
