eForm Application for Gilbane Event
February 29, 2004
I have been promoting a session I will be moderating at the Gilbane Conference on Content Management in which representatives from Adobe, Microsoft, and the XForms community will explain and demonstrate their approaches to eForms development. As part of the session, each of the representatives will present their approach to a problem I present. In some brief back and forth so far, we have tentatively agreed on having each of them design an eForms-based questionnaire. To that end, I have been playing with a questionnaire about organizations use of, and need for, electronic forms. A very rough first draft follows. Any thoughts?
