I think that XForms really need a community makeover. This feature is highly ignored in the OOo component space.

First we would need more templates to show the power of Xforms. Also some more documentation on the wiki and even codesnippets (OOoBasic snippets?, Java).

This will hopefully increase the awareness of the tool and then we could have some real techncial features request.

 Hi Svante,
I am glad to see that more development is happening with the associated XML technologies here. I understand that much more capabilities will be possible with the newer specifications and better processor in Saxon. My main question is will these new capabilities be implemented in the XForm part of OpenOffice.org? My main interest is having not just the xform backend, but other features such as the xforms:repeat capabilities and other more advanced operations. Is this something that will be coming with the new Saxon processor?


Hi Jonathon,

I am a big fan of XForms, but AFAIK for OOo 3.0 there will be no update on the OOo XForms implementation.

Only the XSLT filter will profit from the new specifications.

But may I ask what you plan to use XForms for, what features you desire in detail?

Aside of being curious, I would like to have some feedback and as well some evidence/proof that it is worth to move resources from other areas of OOo development to XForms.

Kind regards,
Svante
