I can't help much with chatarea, but I'd really like a decent PHP programmer to volunteer some help with the new chat module based on ARSC:

Several have promised but nothing has come of it so far.

Thanks, you just fixed bug 298!

I'll add your changes to CVS so people can do some further testing.

The structure of a survey is built up in the database, see the tables "survey" and "survey_questions". Note that some "multi" questions reference other questions. I'm sorry about the lack of documentation for this, but hopefully you can work it out. One day there will be a GUI to do all this.

Yes, certainly. I suggest filing a feature request for it on http://moodle.org/bugs.

Hmm ... interesting and educational link - thank you!

It still seems to me that many of those problems he mentions can be worked around, and in years to come, as browsers improve, will cease to exist at all.

But regardless of this, the idea of templates means that there can be an XHTML template, an "HTML 4 tag-soup" template etc ... so the Moodle admin (user?) can choose whether they want XHTML or not.

Most themes will be simply be modifications to the CSS file (colours, patterns, fonts etc), with the possibility for advanced users to create very different themes by modifying the template files.
