Description
This is a cool module that I am very interested in.
Any thing I can do to help reach the first stable release?
Is there a previous stable release...how do I get it?
Is the module relatively safe to use now?
Also is there more documentation?
Must OpenID be enabled in Drupal and installed in Moodle for integrated authentication?
I downloaded Moodle Quick API plugin but couldn't find any directions or explanation.
Is this needed? What does it do? How do I install it?
#1
click on the view all releases link on the project page. Though it may be missing features or may include a feature that was removed. Depending on what has changed between the last stable version and the 2.2 beta
With reference to your other questions, the INSTALL.txt in moodle.module should provide the answers.

* The 2.2 beta 1 release is "stable" in that no user visible changes will be made to it. It is being tested for final acceptance by my customer at the moment, and no recent bugs have been found. I anticipate another release here on drupal.org within a few weeks. I want to wait until my customer accepts it and use that version as the release.
* There are 2 previous releases, and they are listed on the main module page. They are for Drupal 4.7 and Drupal 5 respectively. However, note that the Drupal 6 version is a complete rewrite. I did not write the previous versions, although I did make some minor fixes to them and migrate it to Drupal 5.
* Yes, the module is safe to use now.
* The INSTALL.txt file and comments in other issues filed here for the project are all the documentation which currently exists. Sorry. Although I recognize the importance of good documentation and regard myself as a decent writer, writing instructional material is not my forte and I'm pressed for time. I will, however, accept any contributed documentation and gladly include it or merge and edit it into documentation pages, files, etc. I also think having documentation written by someone other than the developer (me) will result in more useful documentation. I'm "too close" to the code to recognize the questions most users might have -- I can't see the forest for the trees, so to speak.
* OpenID is the way my customer is enabling single sign on from Drupal to Moodle. That functionality is outside of and separate from this module. There are potentially other ways to provide single sign on integration; how you go about it is up to you as this module doesn't require or use it. If you want to use OpenID, yes, you need to have Drupal be an OpenID provider ("server") and Moodle be an OpenID consumer ("client'). Both require contributed modules to their respective projects.
* Yes, you do need the Moodle Quick API, which I wrote specifically to support this Drupal Moodle module. It is what provides the interface to Moodle that Drupal queries to obtain the course information it displays. Installation involves placing the files in the correct places in the Moodle directory, initializing a small database table and configuring the interface. Installation is documented in the Quick API INSTALL.txt file which comes with the Quick API files.
