Hi Sam,

The Gateway mods are tested---by hand, by myself---but not extensively. 
Which may mean that they're stable, but I usually reserve that 
characterization for when something has survived a semester of use. 
There are two possibly remaining issues: (1) I managed to completely lock 
IE and Windows a couple of times when playing with it.  That didn't happen 
later in testing, and one of the times it locked was from the ProblemSets 
page, not in a Gateway test, so I'm not sure if it is a problem, or if it 
is, if it's a Gateway problem, an IE problem, or a WeBWorK problem; and 
(2) there's a complication when a user who is able to print multiple sets 
tries to print a gateway test: the multi-set selector doesn't show the set 
versions, which makes printing not work.  I'm calling it a known bug for 
now.

I intend(ed) to revisit the instructors' interface to gateway tests, but 
haven't gotten to that.  I'm not sure what the time frame for addressing 
that is (I'm out next week for NExT/Mathfest), but I don't think the 
changes there are critical in any event.
