This is a rare situation where my job and Edubuntu overlap.  I work at a
third level college and among other things maintain a moodle system.

We used the debian moodle packages initially, but realised after a while
that it made more sense for us to just use the upstream Moodle source.
That said, I can imagine it would be valuable for others to have moodle in
Debian/Ubuntu.

Is there a buglist or a list of tasks that I could look at?  I'm not saying
I could take on the maintenance, but perhaps I could help out.  I'm not a
debian or (ed)ubuntu developer.
