Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/s-espinosa/shyness. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.
Currently, questions in this application do not have any identifier for a student cohort. All questions are shown on a single page.
Ideally, questions would be stored with a cohort, which would then allow instructors across modules to use this tool by viewing questions related specifically to their current cohort. This would require both an update to Shyness (to allow students to set their cohort), and to Ask (to accept the module with the question and save it as part of the response).

Everyone interacting in the Shyness project’s codebases, issue trackers, chat rooms and mailing lists is expected to follow the code of conduct.
