We have to get our pilot ready by May 2005 end; full deployment by mid June 2005. I am familiar with the current stable version 1.4.4, but like the look & features of 1.5 dev. What should I do? Start building courses with 1.4.4 or build with 1.5 dev and then upgrade to beta, and finally to release version. Will that be practical and safe? Will it be possible to upgrade 1.4.4 to 1.5?
You can upgrade from any version to any later version, so pick any one you feel comfortable with.
Thanks Martin. Someone just asked me how you find the time to read and answer posts! Can you let us know by when moodle 1.5 will be released?
Definitely before December 
I note you tactfully refrained from mentioning the year
