Change is in the air

Hello quiz people,

I'm just starting with drupal and it's kinda rocking my world. I'm feeling confident I'll be able to use it to develop the software for my dissertation research, which will include a quiz component.

Right now I'm just playing around, getting familiar with the software. I've downloaded the quiz module and am looking forward on getting up to speed on it. I will probably want to begin work in earnest within the next month or so. I've downloaded Drupal 6.x and the latest quiz module. However, it may turn out that the Drupal 7 database features will be particularly helpful for me, as I'll need to collect a lot of data on my research subjects. (This data will include background information, quiz performance data, as well as performance on the module I'll be developing for my research.)

Here are my questions: Will the latest Quiz module work with Drupal 7? Should I hold off development until I can start in earnest on 7? What is the word on the street on the bugginess of Drupal 7? Compatibility? I understand it's been tested a lot, but I've never been an early adopter -- I usually prefer to wait until the dust has settled. OTOH I can't really afford to waste the next few months developing something I'll have to toss for a new version. Since I haven't started yet, it might be better for me to begin with 7 in the first place.

Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

Heidi
