+ * Local capabilities
+ * ------------------
+ *
+ * If your local customisations require their own capabilities, use
+ * 
+ * local/db/access.php
+ *
+ * You should create an array called $local_capabilities, which looks like:
+ * 
+ * $local_capabilities = array(
+ *         'local/component:capability' => array(
+ *         'captype' => 'read',
+ *         'contextlevel' => CONTEXT_SYSTEM,
+ *      ),
+ * );
+ *
+ *
+ * Local language support
+ * ----------------------
+ *
+ * Moodle supports looking in the local/ directory for language files.
+ * Say your local language file related to a new feature called foo,
+ * You would create:
+ * local/foo/lang/en_utf8/local_foo.php
+ * and then call strings like get_string('key', 'local_foo');
+ *
+ *
+ * Local admin menu items
+ * ----------------------
+ *
+ * It is possible to add new items to the admin_tree block.  
+ * To do this, create a file, local/localsettings.php
+ * which can access the $ADMIN variable directly and add things to id.
+ * You might do something like:
+ * $ADMIN->add('root', new admin_category('foo', get_string('key','local_foo')));
+ * $ADMIN->add('foo', new admin_externalpage($name, $title, $url, $cap);
+ *
+ * 
+ *
  * Course deletion
