EForms Discussion at the Gilbane Conference

January 26, 2004

As part of the Gilbane Conference on Content Management, I will be moderating a session on EForms entitled, “Electronic Forms and Content Management.” (In fact, it’s going to be two sessions back to back.) I’m excited about the event because I think we have exactly the right people involved in the session. The three speakers are:

We are still thinking through details of the event, but the following is the proposed outline of the session that I sent to the three speakers.

The extra time is going to allow us to provide a much more instructive session. I have been thinking of the following format:

  • Brief intro by me based on my Gilbane Report article (see attached)
  • Presentations/demos from each speaker based on a problem application I have provided in advance*
  • Discussion and questions from audience based on demos
  • Brief "round robin" where each speaker can present additional material or demos of interest on their technology
  • Wrap up Q&A and discussion

The problem application* will be something we all agree on. I was thinking of applications such as e-commerce, Web site registration and membership, or perhaps an on-line questionnaire. I am open on this, though, as long as it is a fairly complex, common, and meaningful application that will allow each of you to highlight your core approach to e-Forms development and what you think are some advantages of your technology. For this purpose, I would ask Micah to take off his Cardiff hat and wear his XForms hat instead, but we should at least let him mention Cardiff.

Let me know your thoughts as well. What would you like to hear from the speakers? What sorts of demonstrations or explanations would be most useful to you?
