Team, Doug Stewart (copied on this email) is offering a USD 50 bounty for the completion of SFID 2771740 ("Display feedback for possible answer") within 30 calendar days. Here is the relevant part from an email exchange we had: "The phpESP software meets my requirements, with one missing capability. I think that this capability would be of general use and I would be willing to make a small contribution to its development, if it could be done quickly. ... I'm only looking at creating a couple of surveys. I've a designer who can create one for me for about $50, which I can then copy and modify as needed. I'm guessing that $50 doesn't come anywhere close to covering the costs of making the changes. On the other hand, I think that what I propose would be of interest to a fair number of people. Furthermore, based on my research, it is functionality which isn't widely available, so not only useful, but also will set phpESP apart. So, given the choice between paying $50 for custom development that benefits only me and making a contribution of $50 to something that benefits many people, I would choose to go with the latter." I'm not sure there's a protocol for how to handle bounty, but I'm guessing it's first-come-first-served or split-between-contributors. So, if you want it, or want to help with it, speak up!

Anybody want this? Otherwise, I might just work on it this weekend. Any feedback on the design for this ("feedback") and the other one I recently regarding "credit" would be greatly appreciated before any work begins on these.

For me, this represents more like answers to an exam, not really usefull for a survey. But if it provides backward compatibility: go ahead :-) Franky On Fri, 24 Apr 2009 19:17:00 -0400 Bishop Bettini <ph...@id...> wrote: > Anybody want this?

Assuming that we stipulate that "there are certain security precautions necessary for examinations that aren't present in phpESP", is there any fundamental reason why the phpESP code base shouldn't include "exam-like" functionality? In other words, if the survey admin is willing to take the risk of those missing security features, then should he be able to run an exam for credit? Interesting note, however, is that the request for the feedback functionality as it will be used by the bounty staker is not for examination, but to tell the survey taker what should be done "next".
