Detailed Description

"Questions" are general requests of information from user.

The lifetime of a question: 1) It is sent to some client 2) Client shows appropriate GUI to present the question to user 3) User chooses answer from the GUI 4) Answer is sent to server which somehow reacts to user's decision

Unanswered questions automatically time out after some time

the are removed from questionmanager and from user's GUI.

The questioning framework can be extended to support any forms of questions: e.g. plain text, XML, images If you want to create a new kind of questioning GUI on the client, you will need to add a new question type and write its handler on client side.

One common use for questions are invites - see invitemanager.h This class is the superclass for all questions, If you need a new kind of question (for example new handler of answers), inherit from this class.
