Before April 30th

Great! I have both of those requirements. I have MediaWiki installed already and I am comfortable with PHP. I have a Sun Java programmer Cert and I have found that most languages are extremely similar. In any case I have completed an accredited course on PHP to make sure.

I shouldn't have used the word proprietary. I meant to say only that it is "identified" with the Moodle infrastructure and community domain and therefore may encounter "silo" thinking resistance. I think I've just read too many older section of WV that seem to want the project to be evangelically limited in scope.

So you would suggest a proof of concept converter? I guess that it may a fairly small project by most standards. If you are considering sharing this with a Moodle programmer then you must be thinking of a two-way converter, which makes sense. We are also lacking an export function for WV quizzes in that case.

Also do you have a user account on WMF? I see various 99.x.x.x IP addresses around on this proposal's talk page and I can only presume that they are all you operating from a DHCP internet connection. Is this true?

I've asked a couple people at Google to support this as a Summer of Code project, and I'll be asking for them to match whatever I can raise at http://talknicer.com over the next few months or so. When do you start needing to get paid for the summer? I'll try to raise enough sponsorship to make sure that you will be able to do this.

I am hoping to start working on a project for WV at the end of May at the earliest. I didn't know that GSOC was funded by other sources outside Google, but even if that is not the case of course I am open to other sources of funding. I would just like to be able to see this project through instead of having to find work doing something on a project that I don't care as strongly about.
