* Rewrite all the forms to use formslib and improve usability.
* Put the place where admins need to go to process approvals in the admin menu.
* Show the request course/pending requests button on the page for the category that requested courses get added to.
converted concatenation to use $a instead for new (committed with the rest of Quiz UI redesign project) strings, created new strings for old strings that did not yet use $a

* Simplify category editing permissions to just moodle/category:manage and moodle/category:seehiddencategories.
* Enforce those correctly. (Note MDL 17502 is still outstanding.)
* Don't screw up category sort order when you just edit name or description.
* Niceties like where redirects go when you cancel or submit forms.
* Make sure a global course creator can see the site admin block.
* Don't allow a category to be made the child of one of its children!
* General code cleanup to bring key files more in line with best pracitice.
Apologies for the fact it is one big patch, rather than a series of smaller patches. However, categoryedit.php, category.php and index.php where in pretty bad shape and needed significant cleaning up. categoryedit.php, in particular, was almost completely rewritten.
Merged from MOODLE_19_STABLE.
made the link in an empty random question more readable, added a link to show category contents after the list of sample questions of a random question
In the 1.9 branch this is controlled by a new option under Admin -> Experimental. In Moodle 2.0 dev it is not optional, it just works.
The main change is letting the manual grading report know which random questions might need manual grading. MDL-4004 - this depends on the random question under consideration, which requires a new questiontype method.
I also changed the random question code so that I could remove some global variables.
* Move the show/hide advanced button a bit down the page.
* Improve save button caption when creating a role.
* Don't show defaults on the basic define roles screen.
* Explain the background shading on the advanced roels screen.
* Fix the problem with the risks link to Moodle docs.
* Help icon by the permissions column heading.
* Tables with rotated <th>s, make them vertical-align: bottom.
* Rename explain.php and explainhascapability.php to check.php and explain.php
* Tool tips on the number headers in the explain table.
* Explain table - role names were missing.
* Allow link_to_popup_window to work with full URLs.
This was started and usability tested as a Finnish Summer of Code project, and then Olli did further work on it in his own time to get it in shape for inclusion in Moodle 2.0. I reviewed all the code. There are a number of minor outstanding issues that will be fixed soon. See the subtasks of MDL-17284 for a list.
The goal of these changes is to:
* help teachers new to Moodle, so when they first see the quiz editing page, they don't go "Huh! What on earth am I supposed to do here?"
* help novice Moodle users understand and learn to use some of the more advanced quiz feature;
* but, without slowing down more experienced quiz users.
Naturally, with ambitous goals like that, we won't have managed to satisy everybody, but I think this change is a big step in the right direction.
There is extensive documentation on this project at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Quiz_UI_redesign.
