Porting Quiz Module for Drupal 8
Quiz Module in Drupal 8
I would be more than surprised to know if any Drupal developer hasn't had the interest to get his hand dirty with Drupal 8 yet! It is quite known that Drupal embraces new notions in every major release, the same excitement goes with Drupal 8 as well. To name a few better configuration management, RESTful Web Services (based on Symfony), Twig framework for theming, HTML 5, Views in core, and Mobile friendly are some of the major features introduced in Drupal 8. To know more about its development cycle and current state, check out https://drupal.org/core/release-cycle
Following the announcement of the 'Polish Phase' of Drupal 8 core this July, the need for porting contrib module to Drupal 8 has been vastly realized. Already 200+ modules have been ported (or are being ported) as of writing this post. Also, documentation and developer utility modules are being made available to favor the porting of further contrib modules.
KnackForge being one of the maintainers of the Quiz module has been in receipt of inquiries and is interested to sponsor its development towards Drupal 8. To take up these requests forward we have put forth a strategy to commence its development.
One of our undisclosed clients of ours has already contributed $500 for the same. KnackForge the believer in Free & Open source ideology has come forward to sponsor another $500 to it. A potential Drupal developer of KnackForge has been engaged with the funds to port the Drupal 7 version as-is to Drupal 8 for a duration of one month. For ongoing development thereafter we are raising funds from the community. Below you can find the PitchIn widget to be a part of this cause. Your interest in contribution means a lot more to us than proportion.
The eminence of the Quiz module needs no further expounding as it has already made 80,000 downloads (as of writing). To fulfill the level expectations and meet the range of requirements related to the Quiz module, KnackForge has taken the first step in releasing the Drupal 8 version of the Quiz module. This trailblazing effect shows our involvement and passion for the development of Drupal and our services. With the Drupal 8 version of Quiz, we have lifted the barriers from many users to upgrade their sites in near future to Drupal 8.
"The power of Drupal lies on its Contrib module", to leverage the power of Drupal 8 KnackForge's initial appraisal to make the Drupal 8 version of the quiz module is about $5000. KnackForge being a pioneer invested in a team of well-expertise web developers to develop and test the Drupal 8 version going forward. The code for the same can be found in our project management system, KnackHub. You are welcomed always to fund this work to take the Drupal 8 version of the Quiz module.
