[FM Discuss] php challenge...

[adam]

andy - i will send you what i have now...i think u will be able to
develop a quiz plugin in less than a day...

its in basic but working condition

for the moment please dont distribute it - i havent added all the
appropriate license info yet etc (I think maybe we use AGPL...)..

you need php 5.2 +, and if you want to see the nice chat widget with
freecap then you need gd enabled for php5
