If you're confident with HTML then you can temporarily switch off the HTML editor in your user profile and simply type the required code.

The HTML editor also has a source code mode (the button looks like "<>") which should in theory allow you to edit code too. (There may still be problems with the editor changing small code details, I don't use the HTML editor myself so I'm a bit vague on the details, sorry).

The header and footer are user customisably by changing the files called `header.html` and `footer.html` within the folder containing your chosen theme.

The files are actually PHP but contain very little actual code. Anyone comfortable with accessible HTML should have no problem altering them to look and act as they want.

There's some them info to be found at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Theme_basics and in linked pages.

I think the main reasons given are that a general purpose issue tracker would be useful for a lot of Moodle sites and that Bugzilla would (just as the current bug tracker does, imho) scare off a lot of people who would happily contribute to something a little less brutal.

Microsoft Excel itself can open and view CSV files, and you can then simply save them as Excel native .xls files for working with the data or sending to other people.

Talking about 'seed databases' would SQLite support help? I was wondering the other day whether the new XML database schema being discussed would provide SQLite support as an added bonus.

And while on the subject of automated testing, have any of the security minded people tried running the oedipus security scanner against Moodle? I had an urge to try it a few weeks ago but the download was temporarily removed while they sorted out some legal issues with a former employer, and I've not gotten round to it since. Looks very useful though.
