Hello!!
I've developed a new Moodle block (using the code guide and the
official project instructions) and I don't know what can I do to offer
this block to the rest of the community.
I'm interested to collaborate with the project and I would like to include it in the distribution.
Is it possible?
What can I do?
Is possible that my program will be included in future distributions?
Thank you very much.
I'm a moodle newbie too so hopefully somebody else will correct me if I'm wrong, but typically I see people make a post that describes the block and tells what version(s) of moodle it works with. Also include a zip file of the block so people can try it out and give you some feedback. With many sets of eyes looking there will invariably be bugs or enhancements to work out...By then I'm sure someone else will tell you how and where to upload it to share.
Hi Javier,
You can add it to the Modules and Plugins database on the homepage of moodle.org - you should also upload it to Contrib CVS to allow other developers to see/update/modify your code.
I would suggest first placing the code somewhere public on your own system initially as a zip file, and then create a new entry in the modules and plugins database linking to your zip file.
Then you should message Martin Dougiamas, with a request for Contrib access, you will need to provide him your sourceforge username in the same e-mail.

*edit* - make sure you have a look here: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:CVS_for_developers
- it mentions how you should contact MD to request CVS Contrib access.
