Community Hubs in Moodle 2.0

Community hubs http://docs.moodle.org/en/Community_hub a new feature in Moodle 2.0:

* Anybody can set up a Community hub, which is a directory of courses for public use or for private communities. The code is implemented as separate GPL plugin for Moodle.

* Sites can register to any Community hub (instead of just moodle.org)

* Teachers on registered sites can publish their full courses to Community hubs, for download

* Teachers on registered sites can also advertise their courses on Community hubs, for people to join

* Teachers on any site can search all public Community hubs and download courses as templates for their own courses

* Users on any Moodle site can also search Community hubs for courses (and communities of practice) to participate in. Initially we are encouraging 'communities of teaching practice' but any sort of course can be listed.
