This section contains proposals for changes to Mahara that the team is tracking. They should all also have a corresponding wishlist item on the bug and wishlist item tracker. The wiki pages provide more information and the possibility to discuss the individual items more easily than on Launchpad.
What might be coming to Mahara
The Mahara project does not have a set roadmap for each release as that depends largely on features that the community implements and those that are being funded to implement, e.g. via a Mahara support company. Nevertheless, the Mahara release team at Catalyst has some items that it wishes to take a closer look for upcoming releases. You can view these items in the table below.
The items are listed more or less according to priority. Some items are fairly small whereas others are large pieces of work that may need to be split up over several releases once the specifications are clearer. The effort that is displayed is just an indication as the eventual implementation may be larger or smaller depending on the finalized specifications.
The list was inspired by the existing Mahara wishlist and the Blue sky thinking.
If you wish to contribute to funding any of these features, please let us know.
Features | Comments | Projected effort |
TinyMCE button for embedding iframes | small | |
Default skins | medium | |
Skin previewer | Switch between skins and quickly preview your page with the skin | medium |
Rethinking groupings of pages and collection | organisation for yourself as well as grouping of pages for others to see | huge |
Reduce number of clicks | ongoing | |
Etherpad functionality | i.e. editing text collaboratively simultaneously | medium |
Make the end-rendered Mahara pages prettier so that they don't look so blocky | see specifications | medium |
“Like” button for pages | medium | |
journal entry prompts | to facilitate scaffolding | medium |
Export pages and collections on all levels | i.e. group, institution, site and not only individual portfolio pages / collections | small |
Forum posts by email | Moodle got it in 2.8 | medium |
AJAX preloading pages | i.e. make front-end faster | |
Config file generator | for easier way of setting up Mahara | |
Tag recommendations | tag recommendations based on what's on your page | big to huge |
