Hack/Doc Fest: Summer 2011 Project Suggestions

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest at Hampshire 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.

  • Moodle 1.9 bug fixes
  • Learning how to use Git for version control
  • Demo site for Moodle LAE
  • Further evaluation and testing of Moodle 2.0
  • Planning Moodle 2.0 pilots
  • Identifying and writing needed documentation for Moodle 2.0

Save the Date: Hack/Doc Fest at Hampshire College

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest for Summer 2011 will be held Monday, June 27 through Thursday, June 30, 2011 at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. This will be CLAMP’s eighth Moodle Hack/Doc Fest.

We’ll be kicking things off on Monday, June 27 with our first-ever Documentation Sprint, in which we’ll focus on revising and publishing the documentation we’ve been working on for the last year. This is an optional event, but we hope folks will be able to join us.

Moodle Hack/Doc Fest itself runs Tuesday, June 28 and runs through Thursday, June 30, 2011. Additional information, and a registration form, will be available April 1, 2011 at the event web site: https://www.clamp-it.org/events/moodle-hackdoc-fest-summer-2011/

Moodle 1.9.9+LAE v1.1.4 available for download

Moodle 1.9.9+LAE v1.1.4 is available for download. This is a security release that backports fixes from Moodle 1.9.10 to Moodle 1.9.9. It supersedes the Moodle 1.9.9+LAEv1.1.1 and LAE v1.1.2 releases. It also incorporates a number of bug fixes and new features developed at Hack/Doc Fest VII at Furman University, and fixes a bug with TinyMCE 3.x that was introduced in LAE 1.1.2.
