Quiz in 1.5?

Hey, just got around to checking through the second v1.5 prerelease - did not see anything on Quizzes other than QuizImages - did I just miss it, or are quizzes out for the next release?

Quizzes are included.... there are lots of parts that were not included in the pre-release either because they were not done or because it wasn't necessary to include them.

Will people be able to enter their name if they get a good score?

Depends on a few things. Because users can log into the new version (you control users in your control panel), you may already know who took the quiz. However, many folks will not be logged in (public type users that you didn't know before) and thereofore it makes sense to want to gather some information about them. When the quiz completes, you, the app owner, decide what to screen to load next. You may configure a quiz complete load screen that asks for user input, you may want to show a public leaderboard, it's up to you. Most folks will probably show a simple html form and ask for user registration info. The form would post data to their website, email script, etc. Bottom line, you decide what happens when quizzes end, not us.

Soon my friends, soon. We had hoped to get it implemented by now but just havn't been able to (it's waaaaay more flexible than the original quiz!) but will just as soon as we can.

I'm looking forward to using images in a quiz to enliven my app. It has been rejected once as a content aggregator - which is unfortunate because that is exactly what I need it to be!! It's aimed at parents of the students in my school to keep them up to speed with what we are doing and allow them to email staff directly. A quiz about the school / staff / new building would provide some 'entertainment value'.
