Hi Petar, Like, wow, talk about crazy timing. I'm working on an exam generation app which, being young and naive, thinks it can grow up to cover everything from basic quizzes to questionnaires, surveys and graded tests. It's still about a week or two from a preview release (and much more than that from being really ready) but since I think it's very relevant to your question, I guess I'll have to break security. Oh well, the best laid plans of mice et cetera. The part you'd probably be interested in uses a custom ModelAdmin which displays a sortable list of questions and sub-modules in a test, with an "edit" link for each item, and an "add question" popup menu for the test and for each sub-module. Creating and editing questions and modules is done via this custom admin - there are no Question or Module links in the admin app list - and users never see a "test" field in the question forms. I actually spent some time working on a nested-inline form for this, but realized rather quickly that it wasn't just really hard to write (and even harder to maintain) but will result in a complicated and unfriendly UI. I don't know if you might be more interested in the full app or just the admin code, so let me know if you'd like to see any of it. And, like I said above, code at Google and a demo site are probably a couple of weeks away.
