Complete set of docs
Found on the TWiki:
As far as I can tell, the "complete" set of documentation for WeBWorK should consist of the following:
- a description of webwork for the student, professor, and administrator
- system requirements (in the installation manual)
- installation instructions (installation manual)
- configuration instructions
- basic configuration is in installation manual
- a comprehensive list of course environment variables is now in the comments of
global.confanddatabase.conf, but needs to be made accessible. convert to POD? - Constants.pm has POD docs, but they have to get put on the wiki
- the NETPBM stuff is in the installation manual (but really should go away!!!)
- task-oriented usage instructions
- admin tasks (like course creation)
- course admin tasks
- instructor tasks
- student tasks
- admin tasks (like course creation)
- command line script documentation
- library reference (this is/will be POD)
- pg language reference
- basics
- cookbook techniques
- standard macro packages and modules (some of this exists in POD form on Frontier site)
- extending pg
- how to get support
- contributing to the webwork project (patches, donations, etc)
(this list originally from Message-ID: <20031001034004.A92569@gate.math.rochester.edu>)

- The educational goals of WeBWorK
- Comparing WeBWorK to CAPA
- How students use WeBWorK
- How instructors use WeBWorK
- Managing a WeBWorK course
- PG language reference

Fixing authentication

- I want
- Primary user database is on MediaWiki (with passwords in MW double-salted format)
- Moodle creates user record from MW data
- Can I get Moodle to require the additional required fields that it doesn't get from MW?
- Moodle authenticates against MW password
- any issue with double-salted hashes?
- Do this with Moodle's built-in "external database authentication"
