Hi,
I visit Limesurvey forum from time to time and I have found that some posts refer to new Limesurvey 2.0 different from old 2.0 which development was abandoned. I tried to find more info about this new 2.0 version at the limesurvey web page but I was not able to locate any info, maybe with exception of link to the source code in development wiki (I am not sure).

Is info about new 2.0 version somewhere - key changes, new features etc?

Thanks,
Vlada

From what I know what is now called Limesurvey 2.0 is the 1.9x code ported to code igniter, including Thomas' Expression Engine.

1. Central Participant Database (Google Summer of Code 2011 project which I co-mentored): docs.limesurvey.org/Central+participants...ase+%28User+panel%29

2. New feature to export a complete survey (survey structure, responses, template) to ZIP file + import feature.

3. Same as 2. but for several surveys of a system, used to port data from test system to live system for example.

4. New feature to randomize answer option (columns headings) in matrix questions.

5. Advanced "list surveys" overview with option to expire or delete several surveys at once.

6. Some additional survey settings if I remember correctly.

7. Some minor GUI improvements like a list of changed survey settings at survey overview or changed.

8. The new and really powerful Expression Manager will also lead to some changes at the background e.g. for conditions and maybe for assessments and the array filter option as well: docs.limesurvey.org/Expression+Manager

9. I really nice installer.

10. Some more changes are listed as new features at the change log: limesurvey.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/li...ource/limesurvey_ci/

That is quite a nice list.

Is there any concrete plan for a new more modern GUI in some of the next versions? I think one of the main aspects that still scares off a lot of people is the GUI which seems to be a little outdated in 2011.

We still hope that Google will announce "Google Code in 2011" soon because we could splitt up the GUI improvements into small tasks for GCi 2011.
Things that I can think of are sortable tables for several admin parts (the Central Participants Database will already have that and it offers powerful features like sorting, searching and fltering), more drag and drop features (Carsten just starting working on that, see limesurvey.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/li...ision&revision=11149) and a new icon set (where do we get that from?).

We also talked about a template design contest and we will also need a GUI for the new Expression Manager.

-> Can someone help us with these design tasks?

Nice list really, expression manager is particularly interesting, but it will need GUI.

I tried to find the expression manager part of wiki directly from limesurvey.org but I was not able to. Maybe it is time for reconstruction of development wiki, to remove stuff about old 2.0 or move it to some kind of archive and have clear info about current development status there. You folks in core team can get more from us in wider community regarding ideas, support, testing etc.

Keep going

You are right, Vlada. Once the first Limesurvey 2.0 alpha is released, we need to do some wiki cleanup.

The Limesurvey 2 demo is up for testing again: devdemo.limesurvey.org/index.php/admin/authentication/login
User: admin
PW: test

More information on testing is available at www.limesurvey.org/forum/future-features...art=10&lang=en#65021

ummmm...
