Ping? Do we have any consensus here?

It won't be dropped, it'll be fixed. Backup/restore is one of the last things being finished right now, but I'm pretty sure you'll copy them into your "personal files" area (via filepicker, from any source) and then restore them from there.

The whole concept of the course files area is deprecated in Moodle 2.0 and will only be useful for accessing files in older upgraded courses. New courses will never see it, because files always go straight into resources, forums etc.

The file browser you see there now is really just a proof of concept from a year ago - it totally needs some work. Navigation being a big one, since the new navigation stuff is far more recent.

Hi Marcus,

DB2 sounds terrific (for Moodle 2.0).

You'll find that the DB layer has changed a lot in Moodle 2.0 (for the better) so even though you'll need to do the work over again it should be more robust code.

Development:DB_layer_2.0

Sorry Mary, that screenshot was a mockup and those two plugins are not written yet.
