The Google Code-In contest ended a couple weeks ago and two of our team member, namely Marcel Minke (Mazi) and David Olivier (Machaven) who were mentors in the Google Code-In contest wrote about their experience. Read now Marcel's report and David's report and you will realize how much of a difference a bunch of 14-17 year olds can make! Google Code-In has been most successful for the LimeSurvey project and I want to express our gratitude to Google (for running this contest and sponsoring the prizes), our mentors and last, but not least, our students, especially Kshitij Parajulik, our most successful one who implemented many new features! Thank you!

Faster than expected we just published the 1.91 release candidate 2 - because of some critical issue which made the survey taking almost impossible due to session issues. Download now and please let us know if you find any further problems so we can have a stable release as soon as possible! As more feedback we get as sooner this baby will be stable! |

Today we released the first version of LimeSurvey 1.91 beta - which does contain over 40 new features compared to 1.90. Lots of these features were a long time on the idea list and so this new version is a huge leap forward. Some of these feature were actually contributed by a couple 14-17 year old Google Code-In participants - so the Google Code-In contest has been a huge success for us so far. More features were contributed by different people, most importantly the users nklime and wavexx, other features were financed by donations. Thank you! Some of the highlights of this version are:
- Invitation email bounce processiong
- File upload question type
- Question group preview
- Dedicated quick-translation feature for professional translators
- Reworked fine-grained survey permissions system
- Keyboard-less operation through JS keypad for tablet PCs or other devices without keyboard
- Ability to use comma or dot as decimal separator for numeric and multiple numeric question types
... and many more new features.
Please download this beta version, test it and report any issue you encounter in our bug tracker so we can release a first Release Candidate version soon. |

With LimeSurvey version 1.90 being available on LimeService for quite some time now we are now reviving a promotion on LimeService.com we ran earlier. If you send us your updated translation for LimeSurvey we will reward every translated string with one response on LimeService!
For example: If you contribute a whole new language to LimeSurvey you can earn up to 2200 responses - that is more than 100 USD of value.
Rules:
- Any language is elegible where the current translation status is below 95% (see the translation status page on limesurvey.org)
- You should at least have translated/corrected 100 language strings.
- You should be a native speaker of that language - please don't try to use any automated translation because people will notice a bad translation and so will we.
- All translations are automatically contributed to the LimeSurvey project under the GNU General Public license (Open source). So you are even doing something good for the LimeSurvey community.
If you are interested to help us translating and to earn free responses do the following:
- Read the instructions how to update an existing language
- To avoid crossovers please
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
know what language you intend to translate and the approximate date of submission.
-
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
so we can check it and credit your account accordingly.
Of course you are always welcome to send us your updated translation if you don't want to use LimeService. An open source project lives by voluntary help. LimeSurvey and LimeService are looking forward to your participiation! |

Good news everyone: Yesterday Google Code-In started and LimeSurvey is proud to be one of the participating organizations. Google Code-In is a coding contest for 13-17 year olds. It is all about small tasks being accomplished in a short time (usually like 1-3 days). We think that this will give LimeSurvey a further boost and we are thankful for every hand that is lend to us to make this project even better. So if you are elegible to participate in the Google Code-In, don't hesitate to join it - it already has started but there is plenty of time to win a T-shirt and make lots of money.
Thank you also to our mentors being so helpful in guiding the participating students! |

Chinthaka Jayasundara and his colleagues will present about LimeSurvey localization at the CLSA 2010 - Conference on Localised Systems and Applications, which takes place on the 20th & 21st August 2010 at the Ramada Resort in Kalutara, Sri Lanka. If you are close by give it a visit to know more about LimeSurvey and meet other people using it. A great presentation is waiting for you (from what we can tell by the slides)!
We have started to release a weekly 1.90+ version of LimeSurvey. Plus versions do not have any new features but a geared towards bug fixes (stability) and updated translations only. If possible you should always update to the latest 1.90+ version. If you experience any issues please also update first to the latest 1.90+ version before reporting the issue in our bug tracker.
We also pushed the latest 1.90+ release to the ComfortUpdater tonight and from what we can see many people are updating right now. We have been asked why we didn't offer the latest version on the ComfortUpdater earlier - we just wanted to make sure that LimeSurvey 1.90 is really stable before pusing it out for thousands of users.
