Not yet - but backup/restore is a big priority, and would also provide this "cloning" functionality. See Bug #84 - Course archiving, backup, restore and reset for details.

A function to directly clone a course won't be as hard as the backups, though ... it's a matter of whizzing though the records making copies and changing the course id appropriately. If someone wants to write this as a new admin function "Copy Course" then please do!

Support for "groups" is coming later this year which should be able to support both sequential and simultaneous groupings. In the meantime, yes, you might have to use multiple courses.

Did you notice the little yellow help icon next to that option?

I agree "subscribe" could be hard to understand when first encountered - I have a plan somewhere to add a subscribe yes/no option to the message posting screen (which defaults to the current setting). That could have the little help icon too.

Try http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/contrib/noarch/noarch/locales-es-1.1-7.noarch.html

You might have to move the directory ... on my Redhat 7.3 system they are stored in /usr/lib/locale, not /usr/share/locale as these seem to be.

What happens if you change the "slasharguments" parameter in Moodle's "Configure Variables" page?
