Seems like sensible renames.

We've always planned to keep supporting base/standard for a least a year or two. Last thing anyone wants to do is cause too much extra work for sites out there.
That said, of course we all want nice responsive sites so work continues apace on making it very attractive for people to upgrade their own themes at some point.

I've been looking at Forum NG but I'm worried about migrating everything to it as a replacement for /mod/forum. It will be quite a lot of work.
It appears that it would be easier and safer to upgrade the current forum code, possible using "Advanced Forums", but making sure of this is a work in progress. Which reminds me to make a issue about it! MDL-39707
About your "read it later" feature, is there a spec? Are you think of a generic bookmark-type function per page or some sort of checkboxes per post?
Moodle in English -> Backup and restore -> Kudos for backup developers -> Re: Kudos for backup developers

Thanks for your kind words, Mark, which I agree with. It really is a remarkable system when you consider the immense complexity it copes with.
The person who deserves most of the credit is the inimitable Eloy Lafuente (stronk7), who is not only an excellent human being, but did the core re-design and most of the coding of Backups in Moodle 2.x over a period of many many months in 2009: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Backup_2.0_overview
He also wrote the very first version of Backup in Moodle 1.1 in 2003.
Moodle in English -> Installing and upgrading help -> Moodle 1.9.7 vs 2.4 -> Re: Moodle 1.9.7 vs 2.4

Marc, I'm pleased you like 1.9 and are staying there, but using the evidence of the security fixes that we publish does not only lead to your conclusion. Logically that route could just as easily point to the conclusion that 2.4 has a lot LESS security bugs because they were found and fixed. To distinguish you need to work out what was not found or not reported (good luck).
Either way, 2.x will continue moving forward and we will keep providing the features that people are asking for (the ones we've been adding to Moodle 1.9 for the past 5 years).
Anyone who wants to migrate their data from 1.9 to 2.x just needs to go through the well-established and tested upgrade path.
