Hello and a Happy New Year to all moodle developers!

I have been spending a few days of my Xmas holidays validating the Questionnaire module against XHTML 1.0 Strict. I am left with a few validation errors located not in that module itself but in other Moodle files. I am seeking advice on the following.

  1. Where should XHTML 1.0 Strict validation errors be discussed: in this General developer forum or in the Accessibility forum?
  2. When reported in the bug tracker, which Component label should be used: Accessibility?
  3. Should these errors be systematically reported?
  4. Should they be reported as bugs*** or improvements?
  5. Which priority should be selected?

*** The bug tracker documentation says:

- Bugs are classified as 1 of the following:

  • Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents Moodle from functioning correctly.
  • Improvement - An enhancement to an existing Moodle feature.

XHTML 1.0 Strict validation errors do not "prevent Moodle from functioning correctly". Should they be entered as Improvements, then?

All the best,

Joseph

I think the accessibility forum is a bit more appropriate. Same in the tracker, use "Accessibility" plus whatever other modules it's related to.

Yes, they should be reported, as bugs (because we say we're XHTML strict compliant). Low priority usually though.

Cheers!
