Dear Sumana, Thanks for the reply. Here are some clarifications:
Q: You should put a page for the extension up at mediawiki.org and link to the source code to download. A: mediawiki.org already has a page for an old version of the extension. I'll think to update it. Q: Is it configurable, whether the page offers those choices or just makes the user type in words from scratch? A: You can hide the answer boxes for a paragraph by doing "ctrl" + click on that paragraph. Q: When I'm deciding what word to put in a blank I wish I could click on a word button and thus choose it. A: I'm working on this now. At the moment there are two ways of entering the hidden links: type or drag-and-drop. Q: You don't want your Talk pages to include artifacts of the quiz functionality A: Indeed! I will try to find a way to detect if a page is an article. In the meanwhile, toggle the button at the top (that says "quizz" or "read") to disable the quizz. Q: Have you gotten feedback on this prototype from any teachers yet? A: No. I have only put the prototype online today. Feedback from teachers would be great.
