Re: [Tiki-devel] Quizz feature

Hi,

Maybe a good roundtable meeting topic. I have similar feelings about 
surveys, polls, FAQs, directory, those little My Account features, etc. 
They aren't as good as they could/should be, but there isn't much 
motivation to improve them. They could each be replaced with a 
combination of tracker and wiki page, etc., no doubt, but somebody would 
have to figure that out and document it, and make a profile maybe.

So if they don't get revamps, should they be left as is or removed? If 
they're left as is, maybe they work well enough to meet somebody's 
needs. If they're removed, Tiki's "the most features" claim erodes. I 
don't recall any complaints about these, so either they're working for 
people or they aren't and it isn't important enough for people to submit 
a report.

My dream scenario is that all these minor features, that can be, would 
be remade using Tiki's stronger and continuously maintained features 
like the wiki and trackers. Maybe to better ensure that these minor 
features stay up to date, they could be "system trackers" or "default 
trackers", so they would be in the code base, like the default menu, 
instead of at profiles.t.o where they would probably be ignored. (This 
idea was brought up at one of our meetings some time ago.)

Going this route would also be good for the idea of "no code/low code" 
development in Tiki because people would have more examples of how to do 
things with Tiki's major features, and it would be easier to customize 
or extend them, etc. than when they're made with PHP and Smarty files. 
And relevant capabilities as well as improvements in the wiki or tracker 
would benefit these minor features, too. We can imagine how they would 
benefit from some of the tracker capabilities like connection to a 
calendar, reporting, etc. And maybe they'd be more likely to getsome 
vue.js treatment this way.
