OASIS Question Engine

Current Status: fifth pre-release, 3.9.5.

This has most of the functionality of the original OASIS system, but still needs
a lot more documentation and testing.


Priority for sixth release is documentation, stability, and question editing.

Current Version: 3.9.6.

It's better than nothing, and does describe question creation reasonably well.

components, refreshing the look and feel, and fixing security issues. This has been a major piece
of work, requiring a rewrite of approximately 1/3 of the code.

The plan is to release this code as a series of OSS releases, as I get enough features of the original
system active to be useful to other people.

This code has been developed mostly under the auspices of The University of Auckland, and is used
successfully by them. The University does not, however, otherwise endorse it or commit to any support
of other users.

Feel free to download the software, as it is, and try it out. If you find it useful, use it!
Right now it's mostly complete, but needs more documentation and testing.
I'm working on that now, along with some sample content.

If you have any suggestions or improvements, please contact me.
Feel free to file a GitHub Issue, or email.

Pull requests will be gladly accepted if I think they're helpful! But contact me before doing a huge amount of work :)


Who am I?
=========

I am the primary developer of the OASIS software, and wrote it mostly while I worked at the University of Auckland.

I left the University in 2013, but continue to maintain and improve OASIS in my free time. I think it's a good
project and would love to see more people use it, or collaborate in some way.

If you have any suggestions or improvements, please contact me.
