Hey there!

Just a short question: What is the time schedule of Limesurvey 2.0? When do you plan to release it?

As I have read Limesurvey 2.0 will be completely redesigned, won't it? Where can I read more about this issue?

Best regards,
Mazi

Thanks for this information. You guys are making a great job!

I for one cannot wait to get my hands on this!

I've seen some of the mockups and I think there is a really powerful piece of software on its way.

If you guys in the dev team need an experienced DP bod to try and break the thing I'm happy to get involved at alpha and beta phases. Just shout.

Cheers
Paul

I am really glad to see the progress being done on Limesurvey. I was just looking at the bug database and i am amazed to see that this project is so active with so many features being added and bugs being closed. I started learning php just so that i can contribute to the Limesurvey code. I am also planning to work with my dad to translate limesurvey to Arabic.

Great job guys.

Hi Guys,

what techniques can be used to exchange data with other applications?

I'm talking about a scenario we are planing to implement in our company:
Because of data/privacy protection we don't want to store personal data in the limesurvey database. In the database of our application we have data of lectures and participants. We want to use limesurvey as a tool for lecture evaluation. It is planned to start a survey from our application by inserting the survey data (participants and prepared survey data) directly in the limesurvey database. So one part of data exchange is to send the personal data from our database to limesurvey. The other way is to send the data of participants who (have been invited by our application but) have not answered the survey yet. We need this data from the limesurvey database to send reminder mails with our application. It is planned to install both applications on diffeerent servers. Furthermore one applications should not have acces to the other one's database. Therefore data has to be transfered somehow.

To put it short: We want to store the survey data and the answers in the limesurvey database but keep the personal data in our database. Now we are looking for a kind of webservice to exchange data between the two applications.
- Is a feature like this planned or already usable?
- Where can I get more information on this issue?

Best regars,

Mazi,

We're pushing ideas similar to this (such as anonymous surveys with external authentication); your example is new (separate messaging systems with particular access or lack of access to profiles)... and needs to be added to the LS2 feature request list wiki.

Our newly created LS2 feature list lives here: docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...rvey+2.0+Development. It's not near complete; it's an evolving draft. Help us define v2 dev.

?

I have added my ideas to the wiki with a short example to describe the ulterior motives.

What does the community think about this feature?

Best regards,
Mazi
