[SEEKING MAINTAINER] This plugin is currently unmaintained and needs a new maintainer. Please see the forum discussion.
This local module allows you to restore a course from a remote Moodle instance into your current instance via a REST web service. The intended use case is quick restores from an archival Moodle instance into the current yearly instance.
It is limited to administrators but could in the future be extended for teacher use. Currently it is limited to one pair of source and target instances.
This is alpha code at present. It has been tested in a virtual environment but further testing is needed. Please report back all issues to Github.

Please consider adding a screenshot of your plugin to help folks get an idea of what it looks like when installed.
Thanks Charles for sharing yet another plugin with the Moodle community. I did not have an opportunity to fully test the provided functionality. But the idea looks good and the implementation is clean and well readable. While looking at the code, I spotted couple of things that you might want to improve in a future update of the plugin and reported them into your tracker.
You are cleared to land now, welcome to the plugins directory!
