PlonePoPoll tracks user participation in order to ensure one vote per user.
And PloneSurvey similarly manages information per user, as persistent data (allowing for multiple form 'saves' prior to submission). Obviously that's not the email side of the equation, but they may have some pieces worth poaching. regards, -David On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 17:55, Maurits van Rees <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I've got an idea for an addition to PloneFormGen (in a separate > package).
