## Where to begin

- Start by [searching moodle.org](http://moodle.org/public/search/) to check whether someone else has had the same idea. The Moodle community is very large, so it's quite likely you'll find someone else with the same idea as you ;-)
- Join an existing discussion about your idea, or start a new discussion in an [appropriate forum on moodle.org](http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=5).
- Assuming others agree with your idea, [create a new issue in the Moodle tracker](http://moodle.atlassian.net/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa), selecting 'New feature' or 'Improvement' as the issue type. (You'll need to create a tracker account to be able to create a new issue.) Include a link to the discussion thread in the tracker issue.

- Post the tracker issue number in the discussion thread, to encourage others to watch, vote, comment and/or come up with a patch for it.

## What happens next?

- The [list of most voted-for new features](http://moodle.atlassian.net/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10512) is regularly reviewed by Moodle HQ and other core developers.

- Promising ideas are added to the [Roadmap](roadmap.md) (depending on funding availability).
- Small feature ideas and improvements may be added to core by the component maintainer.

## How to maximise the chance of your idea being implemented

Ideas with lots of votes are more likely to be implemented, however votes are not the only deciding factor.

- If you're able to provide funding for your idea to be implemented, contribute to [Fund Moodle](https://fund.moodle.org/) or contact a [Moodle Partner specialising in custom development](http://moodle.com/partners/).
- If you're able to provide funding for your idea to be implemented you can [Donate to Moodle](https://moodle.com/donations/), or contact a [Moodle Partner specialising in custom development](https://moodle.com/partners/).
- Join the [Moodle LMS Community Product Advisory Group](https://moodle.org/lms-community-pag) to have your say in Moodle's strategic direction and contribute to guiding the Moodle LMS development roadmap.
- If you're a developer and can create a patch for your feature idea or improvement, attach it to the tracker issue for review by the component maintainer. When you add a patch, add a "patch" label so your patch will be found in searches.
- Moodle is modular, so the easiest way for developers to implement new features and improvements are via [new plugins](https://moodle.org/plugins/).
