If there are volunteers out there to start, please go ahead! We can discuss the architecture of it on ops-development or ops-users. We could base it on eXist.Erik Brucheznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819462794293857673.post-44783967876052986852005-02-14T03:29:36.000-08:002005-02-14T03:29:36.000-08:00Just a few comments ;-) ...
* Client side XForms ...Just a few comments ;-) ...<br /><br />* Client side XForms on IE might not be that far away, at least through plugins (some are already available, other will come). The interoperability of all these implementations is still to be shown, but if the Mozilla announce is so important that's not only because it's a native implementation but also because there is no XForms plugins for Mozilla.<br /><br />* We wouldn't be fair to Orbeon PresentationServer by focusing too much on its XForms implementation. Of course, that's a very cool feature to have, but even if we could rely on client side XForms, there would still be a need for a framework such as OPS. XForms isn't meant to cover web applications at large and web publication frameworks will be most needed to define the glue that's needed between XForms and the underlying infrastructure. That's why I believe that using OPS is the best way to prepare a smooth transition between server side and client side XForms.<br /><br />* WordPress looks cool, but what about a blog system powered by OPS (and of course XForms)? I think that if whole application modules were available for OPS, that could be an additional competitive advantage for OPS and a blog module seems like a good start :-) ... <br /><br />All that being said, I heartfully agree that XForms is the next generation of web forms and OPS the way to make it happen today!Eric van der Vlistnoreply@blogger.com
