Add a one-click browser demo via Moodle Playground: - blueprint.json provisions Moodle with mod_questionnaire and a sample course feedback survey ready to preview. - README.md documents the demo with a badge pointing at the upstream path so it works as soon as this is merged. Intentionally no GitHub Action / PR preview workflow, to keep the contribution small and non-invasive for maintainers.

About this PR — Moodle Playground
Moodle Playground (source) runs a full Moodle site entirely in the browser (PHP + SQLite via WebAssembly). A
blueprint.jsondescribes how to provision plugins, users, courses and sample content so anyone can try a plugin with one click — no Docker, no local Moodle.Update (simplification)
An earlier version of this PR also added a GitHub Action (
.github/workflows/pr-playground-preview.yml) that automatically attached a Playground preview link to every same-repo pull request.After reflecting on feedback from similar contributions, I have removed the workflow. Requiring
pull-requests: writeand running extra CI on every PR is more than many plugin repositories need, and it can feel invasive when the main goal is simply “try this plugin online.”This PR now only adds:
blueprint.json— installsmod_questionnaire, creates a “Questionnaire Demo” course with a sample “Course feedback survey” (Yes/No, multiple-choice and text-box questions), and lands on its preview.README.md— short “Try in Moodle Playground” section with a badge pointing at this repository’sMOODLE_500_STABLE/blueprint.jsonso it works as soon as this is merged. Existing README content is otherwise unchanged.No automated PR previews, no new permissions, no releases clutter.
Try it (preview of the README button)
This is the same button that will appear in the README. Until this PR is merged, the README badge correctly targets the future upstream path (so it works right after merge). The button below points at the live blueprint on my fork branch so you can try the demo today:
After merge, the README badge will resolve to:
https://moodle-playground.com/?blueprint-url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PoetOS/moodle-mod_questionnaire/refs/heads/MOODLE_500_STABLE/blueprint.jsonTest plan
.github/workflows/.Happy to adjust the README wording or the demo content if you prefer something even smaller.
