In my post http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=81318#p360634
on Moodle Lite as a 'simplified version' for teachers, I referred back to the Lite concept from a hardware/ environment point of view, and forward to the idea of Moodle Lite as a means of complexity management for teacher users. Since then, there have been references to related ideas of wizards, newbie KISSes and Moodle for Dummies, and now the concept of Student Lite versions. I think that this is an age-old tussle between simplicity and richness, and testament to the imagination and ingenuity of Moodlers. We are great , aren't we?
......but are we asking our developers for something very difficult that will complicate their work enormously?

Have there been any discussions about having two parallel versions of Moodle?
The concept of Moodle Lite has been discussed before with regard to machine power but I haven't seen any discussion before this recent one about a 'simpler to learn' small org version of Moodle as compared with a full blown institutional version where full features such as role are essential and the configuration resource is available to tailor the package to institutional requirements.
Like Tim, I am sticking with 1.6, but this is not a long term solution I think.

Hi Vinny,

Kenneth,
I am surprised that you have not yet had a reply. Perhaps someone could suggest a better forum at Moodle.org or elsewhere for you to get an answer to your question.
