OLEFA Wiki's form-element: reborn!


The last update brought quite a few improvements and changes to the OLEFA-Wiki. We attacked a lot of usability problems and generally modernized the look and feel of the user-interface. We also improved the communication infrastructure on the backside, which allowed us to introduce common, but missed, features like automatic recovery, parallel edit protection and auto element-refresh.

The form-element was seriously outdated and could not be upgraded to become what we had in mind. So we removed the form-element, but promised a successor to take its place.

Today, we will keep the promise and announce the brand-new quiz-element. It is developed from ground up to fit right into OLEFA-Wiki, both in function and esthetics. It can do everything and even more than the form-element was capable of, all while retaining the same simplicity all the other elements share. You can see the quiz-element in action on Youtube.

The quiz-element will be released with the next update, but will be made open for testing on our prerelease-site starting this week. So stay tuned for further updates!
