Hi Richard,

Sorry, I don't think there was ever such a list of projects on moodle.com.

Anyway, the best place to "hook up" on these things these days, whether you are a developer looking for paid work, or someone looking to pay a developer, is on the Moodle jobs board.

Also, specific small projects intended for core Moodle should be listed in the Moodle Tracker etc regardless of who is working on it, just so everyone knows what's going on.

More info can be found here: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Overview

That's probably the best way in general (the XMLDB editor in Moodle can generate these statements for you). [Note the syntax has changed a little in Moodle 2.0 as part of the whole recent DML and DDL refactoring]

If you really just want to load an install.xml file in one shot without any checking for previous tables etc you can do it like this:


install_from_xmldb_file('/your/full/file/path/install.xml');

One thing you could do is to split them away from the main discussion, and then move them to a special forum (which could have any privs you wanted, using overrides).

Hi Chad!

Adding icons to groups is a standard Moodle feature. Just edit the group and you'll see a field where you can add an image to it. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Create_group

Currently groups can only be defined within a course, site-wide groups are expected in Moodle 2.0.

I have just moved this to the HTML editors forum.

I think it's really essential to get this sorted in HEAD as soon as possible and it's Mathieu's number 1 priority now.
