Adriane,
When I added the new Import/Export methods to my own REGEXP question type recently and looked at your own work I had indeed wondered why you were testing the horizontal parameter!

Hi Adriane,
Just discovered a bug in your drag&drop ordering question. In teacher preview mode, the Fill with correct option does not work. Here is a fix. In order/questiontype.php, replace

 function get_correct_responses(&$question, &$state) {
 $responses = array();
 foreach ($state->options->subquestions as $sub) {
 foreach ($sub->options->answers as $answer) {
 if (1 == $answer->fraction && $sub->questiontext) {
 $responses[$sub->id] = $answer->id;
 }
 }
 }
 return empty($responses) ? null : $responses;
 }

with

 function get_correct_responses(&$question, &$state) {
 $responses = array();
 foreach ($question->options->subquestions as $sub) {
 $responses[$sub->code] = $sub->answertext;
 }
 return empty($responses) ? null : $responses;
 }

NOTE.- See attached screen shot to view the different rendering with JS enabled/disabled. With JS disabled it would look nicer if the items were ordered (and the dropdown list numbers ranged from 1 to ...n). But I do not know how to do it and - given the low number of people who surf the Internet with JS disabled anyway - I do not think it worthwhile to spend time on it.

With the new questions bank system, a normal teacher no longer sees the link to Questions in the Administration block of her courses! The only way to access the questions bank is to create a (bogus) Quiz first... Not very user-friendly. Maybe this a roles/capability problem?

Hi, just started testing the new questions bank system. When I click on the Categories tab in order to edit catetories or add a new one, in Add category, there is a dropdown list of existing categories which is "called" Parent. I am finding it strange that the default category name which appears in that list is the first name of the alphabetically ordered list of categories within my course. This is not really intuitive, and I would prefer that dropdown list to default either to Top (if when I clicked on the Category Tab I was inside the Default category) or to the category in which I was when I clicked that tab. This is related to MDL-10776.
