We'd like to standardize on Flexible Sections in all our courses. However, in order to use the Flexible Sections format, we would need the following enhancements:

1 - Allow the "One Section Per Page" vs. "All Sections One Page" decision in Course Settings (as with current Topics format).

2 - Sections and subsections should be collapsable by the student as well as by the teacher, e.g. as Collapsed Topics.

3 - Section/Subsection default topic title numbering should use outlining style numbers, not just sequential (i.e. a subsection of section 2 should be 2.1, not 3)

4 - Each Section should allow the course editor to specify a date range. In Course Settings, the default date range per section should be set, e.g. 1 week, but allow the Date Range for the section to be overridden. The date range for the Section can be shown or hidden on the Section itself. Changing the start date of the Course should shift the start dates of the Sections using default dates. This would allow the replacement of all "Weeks" formats as options on "Topics" formats.

5 - Needs to be in Moodle Core – we host with a Moodle Partner, and they are very resistant to allowing non-Core plugins. Also, we've found that non-Core add-ons don't always tend to be maintained well through new versions of Moodle.

Per Marina Glancy's comment at https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_flexsections, I am filing this request, hoping this can be included in Moodle 2.8. We are willing to help fund this development. How can we proceed?
