Last week I got a Moodle account; we've only had the server about a week. I've decided to do a different project for 599. I manage Skyward, our district's student information system. So I've decided to put Skyward related professional development materials on Moodle.
I downloaded the Moodle handbook. Right now I'm doing a lot of exploring on my own and when I get stuck, consult the manual. I hope I learn a lot more in the next two weeks. My course looks very bland. My boss has put together a Moodle course before. I'll ask for his guidance. It will be nice to complete this project this month. I'll be introducing the course to staff when they return in fall.

I signed up for a Moodle account last year, I think, and I remember how overwhelming it seemed at the time. Of course, that was also before we got into learning about Wikis and Nings and all that, so figuring out or conceptualizing Moodle was strange and foreign for me. I'm sure it would be entirely different now. So, I get how much time it's taking to figure it all out.
I'm sure your project will be great. My only suggestion is hinted above; always keep in mind that there are many who cannot even visualize what Moodle is or what online learning is about. If I had to explain Moodle to my principal it would kill her! Having said that, our district has established an official Moodle team, so I'm hoping I can sneak into their in-service next month and check it out.
Good luck!
