Hi Narasi,

Please see my comments below:

>    - improved query for viewing sam given to groups, works for 1st
>    iteration, significant degradation from 2nd site use – looking at query it
>    seems to be trying to compile data from all sites that used the quiz as
>    opposed to being site specific, if someone has been able to re-write the
>    query to make it site specific that will be of great help.

refer to... Any if you have narrowed down to a specific query, can you
please also email it to me?

> This is fixed inhttps://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-1393.

>    - multiple GB items when republishing quiz with IE anyone seen this? –

reproduce it? If yes, can  you please give me the step by step instruction?

Thanks,
Karen
