-Development priorities
-
-1) The first is to refactor the assignment module into a
-    class-based structure that allows new assignment types
-    to be plugged in.  (Some similar work is already starting
-    with quiz questions and resources).  This is easiest to
-    do now while assignment is still fairly small, and will allow
-    a lot of growth and assignment variants in the future.
-
-    The idea is that new plugins like Exercise should just be
-    dropped into mod/assignment/types/exercise and will then
-    appear as a new type in the assignment menu.
-
-    Each directory contains a subclass of a main class file
-    (eg mod/assignments/types/types.php) which define a number
-    of functions used in various places within the assignment
-    interface.
-
-
-2) The second thing is to make this module more scalable for
-    teachers (ie on the grading screen).
-
-    The format I'm thinking of is something like this (you may
-    have some ideas also).  It's meant to still allow the quick
-    run down the page technique we have now (but even quicker) while
-    also allowing for detailed feedback.  Imagine a long table with
-    lines like this:
-
-    Student name   {Info}  [grade]   [short comment field...]   {More}
-
-    The {Info} could be a filename, or a link to a popup that shows a full
-    assignment, or something else defined by the plugin.
-
-    The {More} is a button that creates a popup window containing
-    longer feedback, again defined by the plugin.  There would usually be
-    the grade menu (or text field), a large textarea, an upload button,
-    etc ...
-
-
-3) Online assignments.  This is just like the Journal module except
-    Teachers can also edit the assignment and perhaps ask them to
-    revise and resubmit.  Versions of pages are kept, like the Wiki,
-    but there's only one page.  All in the HTML editor.  This should
-    be trivial to implement once the above framework exists.
-
-    This will also allow me to get rid of the current Journal module
-    which duplicates  alot of assignment code (but not well).
