My First Patch to Quiz Module
Hello folks,
I am Sivaji a computer science engineering student from India/Chennai who has applied for soc2009. My project is all about enhancing existing Drupal Quiz module. The existing quiz module (version 2.x) is fairly simple, it lacks many functionalities (timer, gradebook integration, cvs question import etc) that an academically oriented quiz engine expected to have.
I took this as an opportunity to contribute to Drupal and wrote a patch that adds timer functionality to quiz module (of course with the help of current maintainer Matt Butcher sometimes mbutcher). My patch is based on jquery_countdown thanks to Rob Loach current the maintainer of jquery_countdown module. Interested folk please checkout the code here http://drupal.org/node/430026 or http://drupal.org/project/quiz development snapshot. Also let me know if you need any tweak up to be done on this patch. Hope i will get selected in this soc and contribute more code to Drupal project.
Happy Hacking !!!
Thanks
Sivaji

This is a welcome addition
This is a welcome addition to Quiz -- one that has been requested several times in the past. If you take a look at Sivaji's summer of code application, you will notice many other beneficial features on there.
Here's looking forward to a feature-rich Quiz module!
Matt
