Yes! It looks good. I have yet  to  look  closer,  but  I  have
almost no spare time these days :-( I propose to merge QZB with
what was already done by Bruno! Unfortunately,  I  can't  be  a
much of the leader now, but what Bruno did is  clearly  on  the
path of my vision of what QZB project must be about.

So,  I  am  asking  how  do  we  call  the  at   last   ignited
OpenSource quiz-software project? 


Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
