Job, I was able to get a fair amount of info on Orbeon, but on Chiba - it's almost nothing: most links are broken (demo, etc.), I can't gather much at all. Could you recommend a good source of info?
Have you tried Orbeon Form Builder ? What's your impression ? Have you tried Lotus Forms ?

They are both pretty decent.
