Sounds like an ambitious project Kevin. Not sure I grasp all the details, but I think it is a great idea. PmWiki had some kind of similar form system but I never could get it to work, and felt it was too limited in flexibility.
As for BoltWire having issues retaining submitted info, I think we have all that available. It is probably just a matter of syntax, (and the perennial documentation problem). If you let me know at you are trying to get Boltwire to do, I might be able to save you a bit of work... :) Of course developing something new is always fun! Martin, things sure have been slow around here since I moved to Illnois. It may be partly because BoltWire is working pretty well. But I miss the busyness! My life has changed quite a bit, since moving to Illinois and I am now much busier. If things settle down however, I hope to be able to set aside at least some time each week for BoltWire development. There are still a few glitches in our latest version I have to iron out. And then I really want to make thece transition to 4.0--we have some good plans in place. It's just right now, I'm scrambling for time. By the way--my own site is really taking off as well. It is an online school that has jumped to nearly 3500 students with a wide range of community building features. BoltWire is holding up quite well--except for one area. Indexing is lagging behind making page writes painfully slow. I'm going to have to rework that to some other system. But otherwise, it seems to be scaling quite nicely...
