  Hello,
  As part of my 60th birthday celebration I am releasing the first version of the Question creation activity for Moodle 2.7, 2.8 There are a lot of things I still need to do including adding some screenshots to the documentation but as I am using it since september with my students, unless I completely screwed things just before submissions it should be quite stable now.

  Hi Jean-Michel,
  
  Happy birthday and thanks for the plugins submissions. I like this plugin and I'll probably have my students use it in near future.
  
  This plugin installed without any problems on both my 2.7 and 2.8 Moodle's. I noticed a few styling errors, mostly whitespaces at end of lines, when I ran through the codechecker plugin. Also it did not function correctly at first, but after reading install notes I ran cron and it seemed to run fine then.
  
  Some of the copyright citations also need to be modified. For example there was no copyright info in export_good_questions_form.php and a few other files.
  
  You'll have to wait for a plugin "approver" to do a more complete review/approval.
  
  Carl

  Hello Carl,
  Thanks for the review.
  Sorry for the white space errors this must be "last minute changes" as always that introduced these.
  Yes the cron issue is a big one and I am afraid I will have a lot of demands for support from people because they won't have a cron running. I tried to mention this prominently in the docs but I don't think this will be enough
  Maybe I will try to run codechecker again and correct all the errors I can to have a clean release.
  Also if you look at the code you will see I have not finished to rewrite all parts of the module, for instance the teacher view is not done, this is because I think it is quite similar to what Damyon did for grading in the the assign module so my intention is to study Damyon's code before rewriting that part.

  I have submitted a new version where I corrected codechecker errors and also removed non English language files to permit translation using AMOS. I will submit the French one once this plugin is approved. Me too I like this plugin. Kudos to Jamie Pratt and Peter Ruthven-Stuart for the idea and the first version.

  Hi Jean-Michel. Happy birthday, and thanks a lot for the very nice present you gave to the whole Moodle community. As others already said in discussions, this is very Moodley concept. And well implemented with all the new APIs and features that modern Moodle core provides. Well done on that.
  
  WRT usability, I found that the sentence displayed to the student "A teacher has awarded you a grade of 0 / 50 for the questions you have done." may be confusing. It is displayed even in the case when the teacher has not graded the question yet (such as it was just created), so the given grade is actually null/empty, not zero. Students will probably prefer if something like "not graded yet" would be displayed.
  
  Please let me know if you agree to become the component lead for the module component in the tracker (given that Jamie agrees with that).
  
  For now, I am happy to approve this. You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory!

  This is a great feature and very much in the spirit of Moodle! I did a post about it here https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=274906 so if it is OK I added some screenshots to your docs page.
  Question: I would like to suggest some changes/improvements to the language pack - how would you like me to send them to you?
  And bon anniversaire

  I am using this plugin in Moodle 2.7. Works great. I have one suggestion for the next update (if it is possible). In the grading screen, maybe give the grader/teacher the ability to delete the attempt/question. Some questions can be very terrible and giving it a zero "encourages" the students to redo it, however it does not force them to redo it.

  Fantastic plugin, but would be good if there was a way for the teacher to choose between grading vs add question view, so they can see and follow a long with students making their first question.
