I can see the module is living a life on its own, great!
Some time ago I started posting new - continuously debugged versions (last one yeasterday - thanks, Darren!) - at my webpage. The module posted there is
- called echo-Assignment - see strings 'modulename' and 'modulenameplural' in the English language file, and
- it uses different database tables ({prefix}_newassignment) than the standard Assignment module.
