  We work for a release 3.14 that will support moodle 3.3 and 3.4 with their, we fixed some bugs and made some smaller but usefull improvements. Eg. we now support the timeline overview in moodle or it is possible to create more than one group for students.
  A test release is available in the github repo, but only use it for testing.
  The official Release will be probably available next week.

  Hello Roger,
  
  Thanks for this useful plugin.
  
  I'm just wondering if is possible for the students to upload a group image. It would be great.
  
  Thank you!

  Hi, this is a great activity. Solves a big problem I am having this year but after setting it up I have noticed a few things that could be included. If possible, could the completion settings include mark complete if the user is in a group? Also is it possible to hide the "Members" column so that users (in my case students) cannot see the names of other students in each group/option?

  Impressed. Very useful plug in. However it seems as though the completion has to be manual or none at all. Would it be possible to make the completion automatic when a student chooses a group?

  @Marga yes i will review this requirement and added the issue
  @Lee Using seperate groups will hide the members of other groups. Do you also like to hide the members of the same group?
  @Lee and @Dave Yes it makes sense to add such a rule for completion I added the issue
  
  Thank you for your input

  Hi. I have some students that could not found a group with their friends. I want to randomly organize them in groups. Is there a convenient way to: a) show a list of yet un-grouped students and, b) auto-create groups for these students. Currently, I have only found a way to list self-grouped students and auto-group/re-group already self-grouped students.

  @Dmitry
  a) You can use the participants page and filter for Group:no groups
  b) I think you could use the Auto-create groups feature of moodle for this.

  Hi! I really love the plugin, but I don't know why the password field is not showing when a student tries to create a group. Can you help?

  When using group self-selection as a student role holder, the student cannot see the list of student members who have already signed up for a group (as per screenshot #5). Is there any way to address this so that the student role holder can see who are signed up in the groups before they make their selection? For example, are there any permission settings that can be changed for the student role?
  
  Many thanks,
  
  Steve

  Hi Roger,
  
  I just wondering if you would be able to include a switch to enable the group chat setting for Moodle 3.6?
  
  Kind regards,

  @ Roger Barras - Yes I would like it so that students cannot see any students in other groups, which I know is easy using separate groups, but I also don't want them to know who in their group when selecting. This way there is no outside influence on their choice, they can pick what they want not what their friends have already chosen.

  @ Roger Barras - Can you add an option in the settings to hide the Members column?

  Hi yes I will do further tests in February to ensure that it is working properly for version 3.7 and 3.8, but it seems there is no issue so far for those moodle versions. Some new further are planned but not sure yet, what will be inlcuded in the next version.
