Dear ILIAS administrators,
The call for papers for the 39th ILIAS Development Conference on 09 March 2023 at Hochschule Bremen has been launched. We cordially invite everyone to submit proposals for presentations, workshops, tutorials or live coding. Deadline for submissions is Monday, 20 February 2023, 22.00 (CET).
Your contributions can be between 20 and 90 minutes long and should be suitable for developers, designers, conceptual designers, administrators, project managers and/or users, teachers and tutors. Contribution languages are German and English.
Is there something you have built that you would like to share with the community? Have you learned something that could help others? Do you have ideas that you would like to present? Please enter your suggestion here:

Dear ILIAS administrators,
the following information might be relevant for you if you use a customised skin on your ILIAS installation.
On 21 Feb 2022, the Jour fixe decided to include the new learning progress icons also for the releases 6 and 7 (see Mantis report #31804: Status column of learning Progress relies merely on color → https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=31804 <https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=31804> ).
Since the new learning progress icons are different from the SCORM icons, PR#4896 "New Learning Progress Icons for Release 7“ (see https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/4896 <https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/4896> ) created a new folder „/learning_progess“ for the LP icons in the /images folder .
Notice: This affects all existing system styles for releases 6 and 7. If custom LP icons have been defined in a system style, they are not taken into account because the order "learning_progress" does not yet exist in the system style. In this case, ILIAS uses the new LP icons from /templates/default/images/learning_progress.
To be able to use the custom icons, the folder /images/learning_progress must be created in the existing system style and the customised icons must then be moved to the folder.
Kind regards,
Matthias Kunkel

Dear Members of the ILIAS-Community!
Apparently I'm not allowed to send this e-mail at multiple lists at the same time. To make sure you receive it, I'm resending it. I kindly ask you to excuse the inconvenience if you receive it multiple times.
The last Jour Fixe (JF) [1] decided to move the release of ILIAS 9 to march 2024. We have received multiple questions concerning the Feature Freeze for ILIAS 9 afterwards. These we want to answer:
* We hereby confirm the decision of the JF and the new schedule for ILIAS 9 as published in the ILIAS Docu Wiki [2].
* We again emphasize that the focus for everyone MUST be on a timely release of ILIAS 8 at the moment. Any further delay on this release will put the timeline for ILIAS 9 in danger. This we can absolutely not afford. Please make sure to leave the developers as much time to get ILIAS 8 ready as they need. Avoid feature workshops as much as possible. We will not compromise on the 98% goal for passed tests.
* We will reopen the Feature Wiki for new Requests for ILIAS 9. For the discussion of Features at the Jour Fixe:
* We will prioritize components with more than 90% passed tests. If you want to propose a feature for a component not matching this criterion, you may consider offering help to the corresponding tester or the test-coordinator.
* We will prioritize feature request focussed on abandoning functionality.
* We will prioritize feature request focussed on clarifying and simplifying existing functionality.
* We will prioritize requests brought up in the framework of the "Large Developments".
* We will keep an especially close eye on proposals for new functionality in components with a lot of unfixed issues. We will veto developments that introduce functionallity we don't believe we can maintain.
* We will have another Large Development Jour Fixe once ILIAS 8 is out of beta. We will not add new projects to the list, but try to confirm the existing projects and check for progress therein.
The development of ILIAS 8 generated huge gains in code quality and a general modernization of the code base. But it has also shown us once more that we are in over our heads when it comes to the size of our code base. We are very weary of putting this progress into risk and it is very important to us to continue with the current improvement path.
Thank you for all the great work, looking forward to moving ILIAS forward together, and all the best,
Matthias Kunkel and the Technical Board of the ILIAS Society
