Define the Models for implementing Quizzes (collections of Questions) and their Responses (collections of Answers to those Questions). These Models would form the basis of storage for such items as: Terms of Service (Quiz) Question ("I agree...") Response -> Answer (answer to "I agree..." confirmation) solution ("Yes" Answer to the "I agree..." Question) Mentor and Student surveys (Quiz) Questions (including "Pay this student?") Response -> Answers solution ("Yes" Answer to the "Pay this student?" Question) Organization applications Student Proposal review, comment, and scoring system GHOP task tracking (a specific task list item would be a Quiz) Patch by: Todd Larsen Review by: Pawel Solyga, Sverre Rabbelier, Chen Lunpeng Review URL: http://codereviews.googleopensourceprograms.com/1403

# Performance note: I benchmarked this code using a set instead of
# a list for the stopwords and was surprised to find that the list
# performed /better/ than the set - maybe because it's only a small
# list.
