I can't do much right now,
especially since I'm deployed
I think the reason why phptest isn't
getting much support any more is because of projects such as drupal's quiz
module. All we need now is wiki quiz and you won't even be able to
find phptest anymore. The reason why I went with phptest in the first
place however was due to it being lightweight and simplistic. However the
release could be overhauled. It bugs out on install due to the Y2K bug for
christs sake. It's a simple fix but for people that don't know where to look and
what in the php to change, they consider it broken from the start and probably
never even get to any mailing lists.
Anyway, good luck and happy
holidays.
