Hi Sam,

I've finally had a chance to look at this a bit, not thoroughly yet,  
but what I've seen so far looks good.

   I would like to see a space for
options/preferences, probably in the "participants" space, although  
possibly in the "user" space for default preferences.

What I want is a place to store
the current options for "displayMode", and for "showOldAnswers",  
although I expect that once we have
this capability there will be requests to allow other aspects of the  
user interface to be customized as well.

This would be mean that as a rule the only state that needs to be  
passed from one webpage to another in hidden
variables would be "user", "key", "course", "set", "problem",  and  
possibly a few other specialized hidden variables
used when a page calls itself and wants to indicate success or failure.

What do you think?

Take care,

Mike
