Hi Sebastien, Thank-you very much for sending through the proposal. My understanding is that you aren't so much building a quiz builder as an open *database* of questions (perhaps in some structured format?). Is that correct? Also, in terms of licensing I assume you would be *openly* licensing

Unfortunately NC licenses are beyond the scope of the Open Knowledge Foundation, which is focused on material which is open as in the Open Definition [1]. So we wouldn't be able to offer any support for the project if it was licensed under CC-BY-SA-NC! All the best, Jonathan [1]

Hello Finn, That's interesting. I can see special notation on the wiki for the questions. Is that how the QuizComposer works or is there a separate interface? My idea is to build a nice forms type editor, similar to SurveyMonkey, GoogleForms and that style, where you get a WYSIWYG question
