Hi Malte,
when do you think will it be also available in dotLRN as a replacement for simple survey?

It will replace simple survey if:

a) Upgrade scripts work
b) Internationalization of all words is done (and a check has been made that the keys used in the complex survey version are the same as in the simple survey one)
c) .LRN portlet has been made to work.

What is the status

a) Someone has to test them with live data.
b) This is tedious work. I might be able to work on it during bug bash, but may not.
c) According to my knowledge this should not be an issue at all as nothing changed that would break the portlet. Again testing required.

Plan is to get this done by the end of next week, but I'm head over heels in work, therefore not sure if I will manage before feature freeze. It would be of tremendous help if someone could install a fresh .LRN installation with the new survey system and test if the portlet works. Steps involved:

- Checkout the code
- Remove /packages/survey
- Move /contrib/packages/survey to /packages/survey
- Install the system

Expected results:

- .LRN is installed without errors
- The .LRN survey portlet works as it did before.

With the current movement behind assessment this is only an intermediary solution for the next 6 months or so, which might explain the reluctance to do the aforementioned work (as assessment is bound to replace survey).
