This is great stuff from Sam and the OU (dance)
For "completeness" ;-) there are also some plans for progress tracking at the larger level of courses and outcomes across the whole site.

Input is very welcome on this specification as the coding has not got very far yet.
In addition, I just noticed this new progress block:

Minor correction, The Moodle 2.0 requirement was recently increased to 5.2.4 due to some serious bugs in 5.2.3.
Yes you can use mod_gzip in Apache with great results.
It does create a little extra CPU load but if you can support that then do it!
I don't recommend PHP compression, that would require modification to Moodle itself.

Can't help with specifics (but I heard about Edumate doing that too).
This would be essential to know http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:XMLDB_Documentation
And you might also look at the work here by a student who added SQLite support recently http://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/SQLite

You can use a forum - it's really exactly the same thing.
