    4548 Some bugs have been left open even though they've been fixed. Others don't have much information.
    4649 * Go through the list of [/report/1 open bugs] and try to reproduce the bug:
     
    4851  * If you can reproduce the bug but the description isn't clear, add better "how to reproduce" instructions.

     75
    6476 * The landing page for each module is different -- some have descriptive text, others have statistics (a "dashboard"). Each has a different layout of menus.
    65    * Are any of these landing pages useful? What would be better? Maybe go straight to a list page? Make appropriate changes.
    66    * Is there a common sort of menu that would be useful?

     92 * Simple search in the body of posts -- match words.
     93 * Regexp search.

    111151 The survey module was started during GSoC this summer. The author will be online on freenode #sahana-ghc under the nicknames '''''robbyoconnor''''' or '''''r0bby|android''''' during the Codeathon.
    112152 * Change it so that it uses "components" to relate survey sections to the survey, and questions to the survey sections.
    113  * Ideally, the look and feel of the surveys should be modeled after the Rapid Assessment Tool (rat) module(see '''''models/rat.py''''' and '''''controllers/rat.py''''' to get an idea of what needs to happen)
     153 * Ideally, the look and feel of the surveys should be modeled after the Rapid Assessment Tool (rat) module. (See '''''models/rat.py''''' and '''''controllers/rat.py''''' to get an idea of what needs to happen.)
    114154 * '''Note:''' You will be required to write some supporting code! No way around that, but this is possible!
    115155 * We are aiming to allow non-technical savvy users to create surveys similar to what was done in the rat module.
