Contributing

This version was created in 25 minutes with Claude Code and Claude 4.x models during the Moodle AI workshop in MoodleMoot Global 2025. The code is completely not human-examined. So at the moment, you definitely should not install this on your production server. Code reviews and pull requests most welcome!
