two friends and I are interested in developing a funcionality for Moodle. We've thought about the floating blocks.
Some of the blocks at both sides of the page (like "Main Menu", "Lastest News",.. in Moodle.org) are very useful "all the time", that means that maybe a user is interested in seeing it/them all the time. For example, in courses, it is interesting to see the online users. Our idea is to make an option that convert a block in floating/static, like the option that hides/shows it.
We've read about the work of Joan Codina and Josep M. Fontana and their "Language Block": http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=31917#148678
We want to base on that work for each block in the page, consider possible collisions between blocks, maximum of floating blocks in order to avoid cover the whole frame.
Which are your opinions? Any help?
thanks!
