Hi,

I am about to embark on making some code updates and customisations to Moodle.

My question is: just in case I come up with the next big killer feature, which version should I be working from and how best to organise my changes so that I can "give them back", if anybody is interested that is smile

It's best to always work with the latest CVS version.

Then, when you've finished the new code, do a "cvs diff -c" on the files you've changed, and it will output all the changes as a "patch" file.

If you email that file to me I can test the patch and check it in to the main tree. Beyond that if you have ongoing changes then I can give you write access to the CVS tree (or at least part of it) so you can check in future changes yourself.

Some more details about CVS here: http://moodle.org/doc/?frame=cvs.html

Cheers,
Martin
