Re: [seul-edu] Consolidated quiz program

[Stephen A Quam <squam@utdallas.edu>]

I am for consolidating the quiz program into one effort. I think we need
to put some thought into its design. As it has to be easy to use. Quiz
input needs to be simple. I would recomend a web interface. I have
designed a system like this before. Unfortunately I don't have the source
code, and it was written in Cold Fusion. Which doesn't help us. I would
recomend using MySQL as the DB, and PHP3. As these are available for
free.
