What got you to XOOPS?

2 or 3 years ago I decided to create a website about medicine. Then I've made a list of features that my website must have. And started to search the best CMS. I have analyzed nearly all free CMS, then finally I chose XOOPS which was best for my website..

What do you like the most about XOOPS?

It's easy to use and has a great community. Also handy for both module and theme coders. And maybe they are the main reasons why XOOPS has lots of modules and other hacks.

Why did you decide to work on the MyQuiz module?

My website was about education so it had to have a quiz system. I searched deeply but couldn't find a good quiz module. And then I decided to work on MyQuiz. I have examined the most of quiz applications and tried to use their handy features with MyQuiz. And I hope this module will be a starting point to using XOOPS for people who have education websites.

What is your major achievement in programming that you're most proud of?

Major achievement comes with major learnings. I spent lots of time with MyQuiz, and while doing it I've learned more about XOOPS, and also jquery system. Maybe MyQuiz was my major achievement for now, but there will better development projects done by me soon.

If you would have a chance for a 30 seconds commercial with a message to the world, what would you say?

If you could choose a place and time to live, what would it be and why?

Probably I would chose living in the Ottoman Empire time, especially in 1453 when taking Istanbul. Being a soldier in this time must be a privilege.

I'm Muslim and would like to meet with any Imam of Kaaba and listen Qur'an from them live.
