It really can't be in any session variables because users may be in several courses at once (multiple windows). Where is your Flash? You may be able to pass parameters to it as part of the URL:

Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> CVS : How to propagate newer commitments to older branches -> Re: CVS : How to propagate newer commitments to older branches

Hi, Valery.
I just updated the documentation about this:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:CVS_for_developers#Merging_fixes
I hope that helps even though it's not WinCVS-specific. The key thing is to keep multiple Moodle directories checked out on your machine, one for each version and to always double-check and label your commits.

Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> High-level API for querying gradebook -> Re: High-level API for querying gradebook
by Martin Dougiamas -
I've put in some proposed functions for the gradebook API here:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Grades#Core_API_functions
Does that look OK? Note that some calls will be a two-step process: one to get the grade_item (ie column) for an activity, then a second to get information (like grades) using that grade_item. This is because there are other sorts of grade items apart from those attached to activities, plus you'll often want to be able to get all grade_items in bulk and step through them.
Please give feedback now, because these will be locked in stone after 1.9 release!

Hi SCORMers,
Roberto Pinna started and supported the SCORM module in Moodle nearly three and a half years ago as a volunteer (thanks again, Roberto).
Unfortunately he's been too busy doing other things for some time, and there is an increasing number of bugs and missing functionality in the SCORM module code:
List of unresolved SCORM bugs
In some cases later Moodle releases have got worse because some maintainers (I'll not mention names
) have been committing SCORM fixes to the stable branches only (and not to the current dev versions) ...
I brought in some new maintainers to help last year but they seemed to have trouble getting a handle on the module and very little happened.
So I'm still looking for someone to help here, someone who can take what we have and turn it into a 100% rock-solid SCORM 1.2 implementation first (certifiable) and then push it forward to finish off the SCORM 1.3 / 2004 support.
The problem is in two parts:
- we need a very good developer
- we need some funding to pay that developer
I can help partially with the funding, but the problem is manpower.
Surely there must be someone out there willing to take this on! Can any of you who really need to have SCORM working help us out here?

Just to get the terminology right, note that it's not a copyright issue: they have the same right as we all do to use, modify and distribute Moodle code (under GPL) and even to build a commercial business using Moodle. No problem there!
The issue, if there is one, is just about their brand name which is obviously confusingly similar to Moodle (as evidenced by the first post). It seems that they've chosen a name designed to be different to "Moodle" (to try and avoid the trademark) but similar enough so that people will still confuse the two. I think it's still too similar. Trademark holders are required (by law) to enforce infringements like this.
