OK, I just reordered http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Developer_documentation to hopefully make it a bit more user-friendly.

Short answer: Sourceforge CVS sucks.

If you don't need to commit changes (or don't need to commit changes very often) you will almost be better off using one of the mirrors: http://docs.moodle.org/en/CVS_for_Administrators#CVS_Servers via anonymous login.

It is only really core Moodle developers that need to suffer the Sourceforge CVS slowness - an if more people start using the read-only mirrors, then it may even make Sourceforge faster for those of us stuck there

Longer term, I think Martin is thinking of moving to his own CVS server, but I think the 1.9 release comes first.

This is a long-running problem that is cause, at least in part, by Excel being not very good an handling Unicode files. See issues MDL-7993 and MDL-9911 for some of the background.

I get the impression that Eloy has not done just about everything possible to make this work as well as it can.

So, hopefully, if you can upgrade to 1.8.2+, it should work.

Joseph (and others) do we want this change made in the version of Cloze in CVS?

On your quiz settings page, you have Adaptive mode set you 'Yes', and you want it set to 'No'.
