Abrupt ending or Closing the Survey  
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 09:51. Related project: 2.x all. New
Every now and then we find incomplete surveys.
The user might get bored in the middle (happens usually for long surveys) and/or close his browser window (can be sometimes unexpectedly ) which results in incomplete survey.

Solution #1: Option to email the link
Written by kishu the 6 Mar 10 at 09:51.
Whenever the user closes the browser in the middle of the survey, a confirmation screen should pop out asking him to enter his email so that he can continue answering that particular survey at a later stage if he wish to.
A link to that particular session should be mailed to the user

Email throttling like PhpList  
Written by GregB the 28 Feb 10 at 23:59. Related project: 1.x all. New
Many shared hosting providers have an hourly limit on how many emails you can send out.

To manage this limit, you have to babysit LimeSurvey and press the button in batches.

If you exceed the hourly limit, bunches of emails will not go out and often you will receive bounced email messages. It is a mess to determine who did get your invitation / reminder and who did not.

Solution #1: Email throttling similar to PHPList
Written by GregB the 28 Feb 10 at 23:59.
PHPList is an open source newsletter package that I use to keep in touch with my subscribers.

It has an email queue that automatically works through batches of emails until it has sent all them all. The email queue can process automatically using cron jobs.

Since PhPList is open source and LimeSurvey is open source, maybe PHPList would share some lessons learned and allow sharing of some of theri current code?
