News from the LimeSurvey Site http://www.limesurvey.org Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:19:23 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.limesurvey.org/images/M_images/joomla_rss.png http://www.limesurvey.org News from the LimeSurvey Site http://www.limesurvey.org/content/view/142/lang,en/ The LimeSurvey team is happy to announce that the Alpha 3 milestone of LimeSurvey version 2 was released this week. This is not an official but an internal release and marks three months of hard work on LimeSurvey 2. This release marks the first Alpha that is fully capable of administering and delivering surveys. The survey builder is functional: the UI is VERY rough and will be replaced. The installer works nicely; setup should go smoothly. Your feedback is critical to our success... so speak up (design-feedback@limesurvey.org). See the LimeSurvey 2 team at OSCON from 21.Jul to 25.Jul.
