--- Comment #6 from Charles Matthews <[email protected]> ---
I agree with the thought that GIFT import into the extension might be useful.

To explain the current position from the WMUK angle takes rather more comment,
however. Basically we are now working on another format: call it J format,
since it is based on JSON. For a system under development, J format is being
preferred to expanding GIFT format in an ad hoc way, to add further question
types. 

Some existing code translates a significant part of GIFT into J format (and
other code translates back). That means that if J format could be imported into
the Quiz extension, GIFT format also could be imported (given a bit more work).
I can't yet give an opinion whether we would want to do that for the current
project (working name Wikisoba, some details are at
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Wikisoba_project).

If the way that project is set up requires use of MediaWiki in the repository
aspect, then I would expect to come back to this bug. In any case the use of
GIFT internally in the project is as a human-readable form of syntax. We
probably will be expanding GIFT to do that.
