While everybody is waiting for the newest ILIAS version 4.4 to become stable, some community members are already thinking one step further and collecting ideas and requirements for ILIAS 4.5. A crowdfunding initiative has recently been started by Hansjörg Lauener from University of Berne to extend the Data Collection object of ILIAS. Everyone in the ILIAS community is invited to contribute to the collective funding of these new features!

A new data collection of known ILIAS installations worldwide has been started at ilias.de, see Known Installations. It replaces the former ILIAS learning module. Due to the features of the new data collection object every registered user can add the own ILIAS installation and edit his or her entries. A possibility to upload a screenshot of the own ILIAS is possible as well. All administrators of ILIAS installations are invited to add the information about their own installation to the collection.

Since version 4.3 there is a new type of object in ILIAS called Data Collection. It is made to collect and show information and data in a kind of database. At the ILIAS homepage we have started to use this repository object to build up a Plugin database and to create a new version of the Known Installations (that has been a learning module for years).
