The core contributors are the people who contributed most to the Chamilo software. We are eternally thankful to them for having demonstrated a very high level of commitment, contributing their time and ideas to the project. Since version 1.9, we also include non-developer contributors as we consider their help is essential to the success of our project. This list is updated with each version.

In the ever-evolving web environment, Chamilo has to rely on
state-of-the-art third-party software in order to provide you with useful and
practical features. Some of this third-party software usually come bundled with
your operating system, but some don't. This means that if that software is
not installed on your Chamilo server, along with Chamilo, you might not enjoy
the best possible experience with your Chamilo platform. To avoid this problem,

In seldom cases, Chamilo will generate a series of problems after a migration
- . This list is a helper designed mainly by BeezNest
- after its many migration jobs assisting large companies to migrate this critical piece of software.
Sadly, some issues happen over certain migrations and, so far, the difficulty of
- fixing things is still less than the difficulty of knowing exactly what
- to do to improve the migration script for all scenarios
-
2. Documents
-
-
The worst that could happen is a change of codification while
- migrating from 1.8.5 to 1.8.8.4. Codification problems are nightmares
- because you generally get a limited number of characters you can
- freely change without affecting already existing files. Scrips can
- be made to ananlyse and fix most of the problems, but you will
- still need a lot of manual review before you can be sure you
- eliminated all problems
-
-
3. Database entries
-
-
Some users reported problems with quizzes: when migrating from
- 1.8.5 to 1.8.8.4, the quiz_question table has a question_order
- field filled with 1's. This generates a bug when using exercises
- marked random, as you only ever get one question to the test.
- Solution: update the question_order field to have sequential numbers.
