New Features

This new version of JavaBlackBelt includes deep changes in the moderation process and in the user interface for contributing to questions.

The goal of these changes is to improve the exams quality. It's easier to contribute. It's easier to move too hard questions to other exams (or to the freezer). Questions have to be "quickly" accepted/released, else they get frozen (average questions don't remain beta forever anymore). It's easy to report copy/paste/execute style questions and tricky questions, which are bad practices.

These changes are essentially visible from the now highly ajaxified "question listing". You can access it from any exam (by listing the beta questions, for example). Most people will face it a the end of their exam in their result page. It will be an ideal time for them to contribute: improve questions, report problems and vote.

Corporate users benefit these changes as well, because now they can contribute to community exams. Corporate users (admins) can also create their own private (intra-company) exams, to which employees of the company can contribute.

Finally, we have fixed a few bugs and introduced a few others ;-)

You are welcome to discuss and ask questions about this new version on the forum.
