I don't know any developers using Git on Windows ... that may be the root of the documentation issue.  

I can recommend that you not worry about using the command-line (the black box) and to instead try one of the many GUI clients out there.   eg http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-windows-git-clients-git-job/

TortoiseGit might be the simplest alternative that will be enough to easily "fetch" an initial copy of the current Moodle repository into your home directory and then "pull" updates of new versions whenever you want to.  All the rest is really only useful if you are editing code and sharing those edits.

Perhaps someone else might like to contribute some detailed instructions to this discussion as I don't have Windows handy.  This looks like a good start.  When it comes time to enter the Moodle git repository, use git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git and choose the MOODLE_23_STABLE branch.

There's a lot happening in this field right now, yet it's still so poorly defined.

Moodle has quite a lot of reports already but they are scattered all over the place and could certainly be improved a lot.

I hope this forum helps to bring us together to work on what reporting and analytics should look like in Moodle core, as well as sharing our ideas for various other developments and approaches that we are all working on.

So are you saying that the files were missing from before the upgrade?  Because that looks like the cause of this.

Correct - you can not drag a folder into Moodle.  This is actually a restriction of the browser technology, not Moodle itself.  There is no way we can implement support for that until the browsers support it.

You absolutely don't have to put a php.ini in every folder. Usually there is just one for the whole Apache server.

And the favicon issue is here:  MDLSITE-1860   (It's not Moodle, it's something to do with Cloudflare we think)
