Michael de Raadt (@salvatore) recently posted a Moodle 2.2 preview at his blog: http://salvetore.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/roadmap_22/. At the end the preview points at the Moodle.org Roadmap which gives some great information on what you can tentatively expect with the next major release of Moodle (Moodle 2.2 due in December 2011).
Here are a couple of the main bullets which you can drill down into:
- Gradebook 2.2 – refactoring of grading interfaces as a central system
- Rubrics – core implementation of Rubrics grading, usable by all modules that support grading
- Assignment – refactor module to remove subtypes, add web services for offline grading
- Files 2.2 – Improvements to files interface and repository links
- Paged course formats – Paged course formats – allowing each section to be in separate pages
- Restore 1.9 user data – adding the ability to restore user data in 1.9 backups
- MyMobile theme – integrated into core

Sounds great. M2’s getting stronger. Good news for Moodlers everywhere. Things can only get better.
Agreed, I’m looking forward to the new course format and the gradebook improvements.
