<P>I'm committed to continuing my work on Moodle and on keeping it Open and Free.
I have a deeply-held belief in the importance of unrestricted
education, and Moodle is the main way I can contribute to these ideals.
<P>As Moodle gains in maturity, I hope its directions are influenced
by the community of developers and users. A dynamic database of proposed
features and their status can be found at <A TARGET=_top HREF="http://bugs.moodle.org/">bugs.moodle.org</A>.
Your contributions in the form of ideas, code, feedback and promotion are all very welcome.
