Is this project named after the character from the "Portal" game series? #36

At some places, it's even spelled "GLaDOS" …

@das-g Yes, since GLaDOS in the portal series has the habit to "test" the test subjects and providing harder and harder tests (exams), it was an ironic choice for an exam server providing exams, and I couldn't resist :-)

Thanks for the answer!

(Not sure whether GLaDOS is the association you'd want to invoke in pupils/students (which might be a positive association if they put themselves in the role of the player, or a rather not-so-positive one if they put themselves in the role of the playable character, Chell), but that'd be a separate issue, so I'm closing this one.)

Well, you do what you must, because you can. :wink:
