Thanks Steph.  I look forward to seeing it.  I realized the M-to-M was
not yet supported out of the box.  I was just scratching my head as
how to best achieve the parent/child presentation.   So I settled for
simple blog way of doing it.

thanks

Hi John,

Just a quick heads up, I've recently implemented a survey site which
at a glance looks like what you want to achieve. I'm currently
cleaning up the code and should put it up on the web sometime this
week.

Some limitations are that M:N relationships between questions/answers
are manual - as Geert has mentioned in another thread, RIFE doesn't
cater to these automatically at the moment.

Cheers,

Steph
