User talk:Joe Gittings

Hi Joe, I've just read your message about Occleve and your work. It seems to be a very good idea to run wiki quizzes on a mobile phone !

This extension represented much work for me, and I think it will be the same for you. Maybe could I help you, for example to explain some parts of my code...

Concerning your wish to add an XML language question type to the quiz extension, you must keep in mind that the wikitext syntax aims at being easily understandable by humans, and XML is for computer... Therefore you can do it, but I don't think it will be integrated in the official quizzes extension on the wikiversity.

I would rather recommend you to conceive an understandable syntax wich would look like the one used in quizzes but with all features you need. That certainly will be difficult since you already did a lot of work with your current XML syntax, but your application will greatly take advantage of it, because more people will be able to use it.

Anyway, I'll not be the only one who will decide of the integration of your work in the extension. I'll ask to people involved in this extension, such as I encourage you to discuss with those guys (who speak a better english than I do). They knows a lot of things about this extension, about what is possible and what is not possible, what is user-friendly and what is not user friendly.
