mongo db support

[pform]

Can we have mongo db support in future? should I start working on that ?

It's not for me to decide, but I would note that Surveyor's logic is very tied up in its relational representation of the survey and responses. Porting it to Mongo would entail either an inefficient lots-of-small-documents Mongo model or a very extensive rewrite.

The former doesn't seem worth the effort. The latter would a lot of work for a small gain — you might as well create a new project instead.

Can I use same logic of surveyor if possible?

You are welcome to if you can make it work. (Surveyor is MIT-licensed, so you can do basically whatever you want so long as you maintain the original license notification.)

What I was trying to communicate earlier is that the actual implementation of the logic in Surveyor is very bound up in a relational representation. So it might be more work to reuse Surveyor's implementation than it would be to just build something from scratch on top of Mongo.

@pform I am considering moving a survey site from Rails to Meteor JS. If I do I would be writing a light weight mongo db version of surveyor. Message me if that meets your needs and if you have interest.
