**Unfortunately, the Bridge Contest is no longer operational. We hope the code base will be of use to others with similar projects in mind.** A national virtual bridge engineering contest with prizes for middle and high school kids, grades 6 to 12, but anyone can enter for fun. Based on the award-wining Bridge Designer client software, now open source through this project.

Our intuitive design contains features (Immediate detailed results, Create/Export/Import/Convert Questions, WYSIWYG/Math-Chemistry/Basic Editors, Question/Item Bank, Multiple Question Types, Multiple Delivery Styles, Multiple Delivery/Results Options, Adaptive/Branching Questions, Randomly Chosen Questions, Print a QST, Auto Marking, Display explanations for questions, easily administer users, etc.) that rival or surpass those found in commercial online examination/testing systems. GradeBook allows you to view/mark/save users quizzes/tests and view/download detailed statistics for each quiz/survey/test and questions in them. Also allows entering marks for other assignments and adding weights(%) to them and QST's for a Complete Assessment Solution. Thanks summernote.org and mathjax.org.

Git-it is a desktop (Mac, Windows and Linux) app that teaches you how to use Git and GitHub on the command line. This application contains challenges for learning Git and GitHub, by using real Git and GitHub, not emulators. You'll be learning the awesome (and not so scary) command line and GitHub which means when you finish all of the challenges you'll have real repositories on your GitHub account and green squares on your contribution chart. You will need this app, Git-it as well as a text editor. You'll also of course need Git and the first challenge in Git-it helps you get that set up. But if you want to get a head start, go for it! You'll continue to use Git and your text editor throughout your bright social coding future. We recommend installing GitHub Desktop (free) because it installs Git in the most consistent way across supported operating systems (Windows and Mac).

This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make a Library Management System live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages. If you are new to Virtual Machines, then please watch the Video below ( taken from my other project. just replace td with koha wherever mentioned ) After starting this VM, please access these websites ( Just Accept Any Warnings ) : Public Website Address: https://koha.local Staff Website Address: https://koha.local:4430 Staff Username: staff Staff Password: change_this from any PC on your Local Network. For better performance, Increase the CPU Count & Memory in the VM's Settings, as available on the physical machine. Also, read the koha guidelines, given on the Wiki Page of this site, for choosing the right hardware resources. Backup the system regularly, to avoid any issues, as in the video. Google Search helps in finding more about Koha.
