[Hide]1 Purpose and Policy
The ILIAS feature wiki is a documentation of the current ILIAS software development activities and a means to support the cooperative and open development process. It should clarify what is developed by whom, when and why. And it gives you an overview of what has been developed in former versions of ILIAS and what development activities are planned for the future.
With a regular user account for this ILIAS installation you are able to add comments to existing feature pages as well as adding new feature requests (see information for 'Suggesting a new feature' in the right column).
