Topics

Guillaume: Share plugin documentation

Generation of a lot of design documentation for creating plugins that could be submitted into the Mahara community. Might put something into Mahara.org. Commented that the first bit of Mahara was alright to understand but then had to unpick and would have appreciated more support documentation.

Gregor: Documentation for writing 3rd party plugins

Started writing documentation for writing 3rd party plugins.

  • TODO: Review Guillaume's design documentation


Cecilia's Gridstack: exports and imports

Mahara keeps the old layout when exporting page that didn't use Gridstack. Upon importing that export, it will be installed and convert to work with Gridstck.
