Hi. My suggestion is based on extending a couple of
things that are already in the system. Right now the
system has a concept of a survey -- it can make a copy
of the questions, answers, &c. It also allows you to
download CVS files, so it has a concept of sending
something down to the browser. My suggestion is that
you add an "export survey" function that would dump the
survey into a .sql file and then send it along for
download. There would then need to be an "import
survey" feature that extends the new/copy survey
function that would let you upload the .sql file.
I bring this up because it would be a nice way of
distributing instruments to other servers or to other
people at other places that are interested in a
particular instrument.
Cheers,
