[Xerte-dev] Re: New Modules

[Pat @ Pgogy]

There is a logic to taking a position. You could ask why site is in the zip, but not one of the others?

So say with Drupal, if a plugin is popular it is subsumed into the core code and becomes part of the install

If all plugins go into the zip, that is perhaps neater, but the alternative is to build some sort of app store

The basic idea would be to combine Ron’s QR Code stuff with a template enabling users to choose a response aim their phones at the associated QR Code and add their ‘vote’ or ‘comment’ to a text wall.

The Comment/Question option would additionally present the user with a form in which they could type some text on their device and then submit that. The Image for the QR Code could be also linked to the script via a conventional hyperlink, i.e. you’ld click on the QR code rather than use your phone.
