If you’re interested in the progress of Moodle 2.3 (to be released this summer 2012) or in the general state of all things Moodle you might consider attending the next General Developer Meeting for Moodle.
Besides the next release cycle, this upcoming meeting will feature Damyon Wiese of Netspot to talk about development activities outside of Moodle HQ (Netspot is current tackling the Assignment Module redevelopment).
Hope to see you there: http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Developer_meeting_February_2012
