Moodle 1.7 is fresh off the oven External link icon (opens in new window), announced founder Martin Dougiamas on Nov 8. Of special interest to me are the big names behind the headline features:

  • Roles - Moodle has a complete new architecture for assigning people permissions. It’s very flexible, allowing you to give just a single person the right to delete posts in one particular forum… Thanks to Open University…
  • XML database schema – Moodle now supports a single way of specifying database structures using XML [for easier development and wider database support]… Moodle can now run out of the box on Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle… Thanks to Microsoft…
  • New admin interface – admins get… a new interface designed to make it much easier to find settings and configure Moodle properly… Thanks to Google…
  • Unit testing framework – developers can now easily write unit tests that can be run as part of a system check to make sure Moodle code is performing as expected… Thanks to Open University…

And if I'm impressed by your comment, I may write a post that links to some useful content on your blog. On the other hand, personal attacks (on anyone), inane comments, and advertorial comments (e.g. comments signed off with a product/service name and not a human name/nickname... read my rant here) will be deleted or sent to my Spam filter.
