[FM Discuss] and the year begins

[Andy Oram]

With all these fine coders, I wonder whether FM could implement an idea I've promoted for a couple years of attaching short quizzes to documents. A crude illustration of the idea is here:

It's just a quick mock-up. You can create an account (but it's just for looking around, because you can't log in to the account later). You can then look at and try taking a sample quiz I wrote. You can also make a quiz--but it's just a facade. I don't actually hook you up to the quiz database.

My article justifying the quizzes is:

My implementation is very Web 1.0. A better implementation would created Ajaxified questions to be inserted into web pages.
