Hi Saq I cannot open the peermore forms or the tiddlers.wiki - are they currently unavailable - or is my coonection to slow?? - It gets timed out for both adresses..
My intentention was that my collegues should be able to choose to fill out the form online - or download it for later review - or personal backup - themselves. It would be fine if the tiddlywiki -then could be attached to a an email - prefilled with the address - specified in SomeName(UmaMesa) FormEmailURL-tiddler or from the contactform sending it to serveral recipients. if the mailto: parameter was able to provide these extra features including the attach function - That would be truely great!! - It doesn't matter that it has to use the users own email-application in the process - for my purposes. When I recieve the tws with users forms - then I would try to set up a "mastertw" - which should import and hold all recieved forms - and fetch the data from the forms into sortable tables - via fET.. - I have been using some "tagglytaggingtweakingfeature" - don't remember its' name - in other TWs which enables some statistics concerning the tags - and it would be nice to be able to render some kind of procentual status - based on the amount of sepcific data compared to the number of tiddlers (renamed after the dispatchers/or anonymous). But its not really necessary - I just need fET access to the specific data - to setup my own tables - The way I choose to render the data in the tables - I haven't really considered yet.. We are less than 40 empoyees - and I don't mind having to tinker - and "moodle" - with the "mastertw" in order to make a presentation of the statistic results - even if I have to draw some charts by hand - and integrate them as pictures... I don't know if it makes sense to you - and maybe I have forgotten some nessesary steps in the process - Please tell me if I have.. Thanks for Your kind answer .
