Roadmap/Mahara 22.04 roadmap

From Mahara Wiki

< Roadmap

For the release of Mahara 22.04, the April 2022 release, a number of features were identified to support the growth of Mahara. This list may be added to throughout the release cycle, and it will be updated once Mahara 22.04 has been released.

This list still needs to be confirmed once we are starting to look into the 22.04 release. Read the release notes for more information.

  • Move institution members more easily via SAML

  • Assign a new role: Institution support administrator

to fix problems that people have come across.

 
Infrastructure updates
