moodle

I'm currently in the process of cleaning out old and disused moodle courses from the College system in preparation of the move to Moodle 2.  I went to a meeting and talked through a lot of courses, and I was told it was alright to delete a particular course as the teacher had left and no students had used it for ages.  So I went ahead and did it.  Then the problem happened.

During this academic year we are going to start work on upgrading our VLE from Moodle version 1.9 to Version 2.3 (which will be out when we do the upgrade).  I've already started to prepare the groundwork for this.  Firstly we are moving from Linux to Windows servers which is a job for our systems department - I'm not responsible for hardware thanfully.  Then we are going to link it into Active Directory which we haven't done before so that will be fun.

A few months ago, our team was 4 strong.  A web developer (myself), an interaction specialist, a resource designer and a web designer.  To say we were streamlined was an understatement and not to blow our own trumpet, I thought we were a pretty good team.  Anyway our designer left to put all her efforts into her stationary business leaving us with a space for a new designer.  About the same time, the college decided to put  all their efforts into pushing the VLE which I am responsible for.
