Moodle in English

Visvanath, this was not a poll on the future of Moodle, it was just a look at tweaking Moodle.org.

My interest is something else.

Many people have not bothered to upgrade to Moodle 2 as they wait for things to "settle down".  Conservative IT departments and all that.  Now the transition is occurring with greater momentum, we are finding a lot of people bumping into things that fit these categories:

1. Loss of functionality
2. Unexpected results (good) of new features
3. Unexpected (bad) results of new features

We often don't know what we really want until we use things a bit.  My proposal was for another poll like the one last year in December.  I know we are not a democracy, I know decisions are made in a particular way etc.  But a poll may help figure out the subtle issues people are facing in the move to Moodle 2.2 > 2.3.

I know it is often said Use the Tracker.  I think this is kind of like Mary Antoinette's words.  Most people still cannot use the tracker to effectively follow conversations.

And, on this chilly, damp morning here in Christchurch, the real reason I revisit this idea:

I have just seen this: http://attendance.uservoice.com/forums/16313-general, which looks like a really interesting and well thought out application.  This is kind of like what I had in mind.  In Molodle terms, maybe a Moodle forum, ONE idea per discussion, comments in the replies, run it for two weeks.  Collate ratings/votes.  See what happens.

My 2c worth.
