[Sugar-devel] Image Quiz Activity]

[Tony Anderson]

Hi,

Ironically, Quick Quiz was my original name for the first version (in
javascript). I used ImageQuizPlus because the code is as an addition to
the ImageQuiz activity.

ImageQuiz imports questions in cvs or xml format and stores them in a
local SQLite database. It should be relatively painless to add an import
for the Memorize format as well.
