Maybe we could add the ability to assign a category to each submission instead of a grade and later map these categories to grades. A category would belong to exactly one exercise (but there would usually be multiple categories per exercise).

The main advantage of this would be to have a very easy way of changing the grading in case Felix and Martin aren't happy with the grading (without having to "foresee" this and using the actual grade value as a kind of category, e.g. giving 42 points to everyone who made a certain mistake and changing the value later with an appropriate SQL query).

An example would be to have a category "Zeiger allgemein statt Funktionszeiger" which would probably be assigned a zero grading.

In terms of GUI I'm thinking of replacing the grading field with a dropdown menu (should support keyboard input to search for entries) which can be used to select the appropriate category. It should also be possible to create a new category "on the fly" in the grading-view.

In terms of data model, I would suggest to replace the grading column of the submission table with a category_id foreign-key column mapping to a (new) table categories which has the following columns: id, exercise_id, grade, name.

Open for discussion.

Remark export should support tex-export. That is, prefixing the remark field in the exported points.csv with %tex\n (note the line break!).

The actual question is: When to do this? Maybe a setting for each exercise? Or an automatic detection (backslashes in the text, $s, empty line followed a non-empty one, ...) for each single submission?

Open for discussion, the implementation shouldn't be a problem, I just want to produce a solution suitable for everyone, not just for me.
