+<P>I'm committed to continuing my work on Moodle and on keeping it Open and Free.\r
+ I have a deeply-held belief in the importance of unrestricted \r
+ education, and Moodle is the main way I can contribute to these ideals.\r
+<P>As Moodle gains in maturity, I hope its directions are influenced \r
+ by the community of developers and users. A dynamic database of proposed \r
+ features and their status can be found at <A TARGET=_top HREF="http://bugs.moodle.org/">bugs.moodle.org</A>. \r
+ Your contributions in the form of ideas, code, feedback and promotion are all very welcome.\r
