This plugin is compatible with activities implementing the Rustici launch method. This includes content created with Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate (among others).
Suggestions, bug reports, code reviews, and contributions are welcome! Please don't add comments or questions here. Use Github instead: https://github.com/davidpesce/moodle-mod_tincanlaunch/issues
Note: In an effort to focus our resources on this project, only supported Moodle and PHP versions will be developed and tested against. That is currently Moodle 3.9, 3.11, 4.0, and 4.1. For PHP that is 7.4, 8.0, and 8.1. As support drops from the providers of these items, we will drop support as well.

Thanks for submitting your plugin entry, i've just had a look through it and here's some feedback:
- The Bug tracker link should preferably be able to handle multiple issues being created. This would mean it could either be under https://github.com/garemoko/MoodleLaunch/issues or under https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB (once requested). You could probably link to MDL-35433 from description or from your preferred issue tracker for posterity.
- The Discussion link : https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=233707 could perhaps be moved, if you desire, to general add-ons forum or a (ask Helen) and 'Discussion' link here updated to point to that. The discussion link seems to make sense pointing to the MDL for now but for the future its best to point it to a forum area as the MDL issue will likely be closed.
- The repository name: we're following a convention for Moodle plugins in the form of moodle-{plugintype}_{pluginname} , mentioned at http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Guidelines_for_contributed_code#How_to_submit_code . In this case renaming from MoodleLaunch to moodle-mod_tincanlaunch would match up with your plugin's code.

Based on that comment I've gone and added this into a TinCan set, you can mention this set in future to have them grouped into it.
ps: The general plugin infrastructure seems to be working good and the installation went smoothly. I did try to set it up with a link to google.com but the new window wouldn't pop up, its probably setup incorrectly though.
I've made the changes you suggested.
Thanks,
Andrew
