Just a heads-up for everyone, we resolved yesterday that Moodle 2.1 will *require* PHP 5.3 as a minimum.
1) Because PHP 5.2.x is no longer supported by php.net
2) So that developers can start relying on some of the new features introduced in PHP 5.3. (Note, we still recommend 2.1 fixes be written in a way that's easy to port back to 2.0)
Hi Mary! I just updated the page in Docs a bit, hope it's clearer!
They are really a very rough progression, obviously, but by structure I meant that yes, you could start giving students more editing rights and more control over what is in the course.
Hi Ian,
Not shouting at you but just to gently correct your surmise about Moodle Partners and forums ...
One of the main advantages of being Moodle Partners is that they have direct priority support from us at Moodle HQ, via our helpdesk, the tracker and instant messaging, so they have no need to ask for technical support in the forums. They are not "distant" from core development by any means, in fact a lot of them are involved in the roadmap. Regardless, a lot of them do get involved in the forums anyway because they want to be involved in the wider community.
And of course the Moodle Partners themselves offer support contracts directly to their clients (including many many corporate clients) direct by phone, email and other means.
As such I can't see an "issue", as you put it.
Cheers!
It does look like the "bulk" extend enrolments feature is in fact gone, although you can still extend individual enrolments using the "Enrolled Users" page under Settings.
I've filed MDL-26770 for you to put it on the queue.
We currently have about 1600 2.x sites registered with at least 8 over 10,000 users.
One big Uni that I know recently started using 2.0 in production is La Trobe (http://www.latrobe.edu.au/lms/moodle/)
