I have a 'package' that can create dynamic forms, but like Gary says, without a package deployment it is tricky to know how to distribute it to people.

For myself, I just zip up all the files required (keeping the paths) and then dump it into a new site, then frigg around to make it fit the look and feel of the site. This is ok for people that are comfortable in the farcry environment, but once again like Gary says, not a plug and play solustion.

Likewise I have an FAQ module that has custom types, publishing rules, permissions, a config and a custom tab... deploying all of that is quite tricky.

Many moons ago there were discussions of a package format, and I think an xml format for the package descriptor was suggested also. It might be worth consulting the archives and pulling these suggestions from the grave. If anybody is looking at developing something I'd be interested in lending a hand.

As a side note, the FAQ module was never added to the exchange, though it was emailed to the relevant persons... anybody know what happened to it?
