[phpesp-dev] ideas, wishlist. etc

[Lou S. <lr...@at...>]

I'm please you started this development list.
I've been using phpESP for a while and like it.

I would like to contribute my time to some development things.

I'm wondering if anyone is working on an install script for phpESP
and if not I would be willing to work on one.

Just a few ideas:
    install script for phpESP
    RPMs, SRPMS, deb, zip, formats for phpESP
    standardize the config directory so users won't have to
        modify the source files (i.e. references to the include files)
    add a stock set of surveys and questionnaires
    import/export feature which handles XML and other formats
    use XML and XSLT to generate the HTML pages for reports etc.
    ability to copy portions of surveys from other surveys
    change the main maintenance menu to functional areas
            Survey construction
                    add, edit. delete, copy
            Survey administration
                    test, activate, close
            Survey reports
                    view, print, etc
            Survey authentication
                    user creation, editing, deletion, copying (i.e.
duplicate user
                            privileges)
            Survey utilities
                export (mySQL, XML, CSV, etc), import(mySQL, XML, CSV,
etc)
    interfaces to other content management systems
        phpNuke, PostNuke, phpgroupware, ezPublish, etc.
    Ability to specify a page to include the generated PHP code
        (i.e. maybe include comment in the HTML/PHP page with a
begin/end
            comment such that phpESP could auto insert the php code
directly
            into the HTML/PHP page
                e.g.
                HTML/PHP file.

                    <!--  phpESP v1.4 Survey Start -->
                            Section to include the generated PHP code
                    <!--  phpESP v1.4 Survey End -->

        Possibility to manage "pages with the php generated survey code"
        Display phpESP version on Maintenance Page



Thank you.
Lou.
