    1. Update the User Guide

      The User guide now is quite good, however it would be good to have a "real life" Example for each part of the user guide. For instance have 1 or 2 demo applications and refer to that application when you are describing a concept.

      • Create a forum

        Please, create a proper forum. It is so much easier to get involved at a forum. Nabble is quite cumbersome.

        • Allow form completion by email

          Is it possible to email a 'certain email address' to add a record to the database/complete a form? Some blogging websites seem to allow submissions in this way. Is this too difficult?

            • extend functionality of & clarity of button actions after a user hits the submit button.

              Talking about:
              "Clear and close"
              "Keep values and close"
              "OK"
              "Close Window"

              After a user submits a form I think these buttons can be confusing. They think:

              "Why would I want to Clear and close? Is it going to get rid of my data?" or...

              "Keep values and close... of course I want to keep values I just put them in!"

              Better phrasing and button names, maybe...

              Change to:

              "Your information has been submitted, thank you. Submit Another?"

              "Yes, Start with A Clear Form"
              "Yes, But Keep My Old Values"
              "No, I'm Done"

              Please remove "Close Window." It is repetitive… more

                • Make Orbeon forms compatible with Google Wave platform

                  Google Wave looks like it is going to revolutionize online collaboration. It seems to be fairly extensible, and is built on XLM documents, so it seems like it might be possible to connect Orbeon forms directly to this platform. Could be a huge win for collaborative forms editing.

                    Solution is that you need to remove "org/xml/sax/" from exist-xmlrpc-1_2-patched.jar

                    • Provide hosting for OPS & charge by # of hosted forms

                      Allow people to host forms via the people who brought us Orbeon! THhis allows for developing and deploying small-scale solutions quickly w/o the need for their one's own Application Server or Hosting Provider. Users can be charged by usage of their form and the total # of forms hosted. What do you think?

                      • Add widget for each primitive XSD datatype (time, dateTime)

                        This is essential for practical use. For example, we should not expect users to know the exact format for time, dateTime, duration (e.g. P5DT4H). So there should be a widget for at least each basic XSD datatype.

                          We now have such widgets for time and dateTime. Our XBL support allows you to implement widgets for other types, including durations. In the future hopefully such will be included by default with Orbeon Forms.

                        • "Save as" functionality in FormBuilder

                          Right now in FormBuilder it seems that if you save an existing form with a new name, it renames the existing form, rather than creating a fresh copy with the new name.
                          The latter would be much better, since it would allow one to create a "form template" and then specialize it by saving the template under a new name and further customizing it.

                                  • Pin modal dialog to page, not viewport

                                    This makes a difference when scrolling:

                                    If the dialog is pinned to the viewport, it always stays visible in the viewport when you scroll through the page with the browser scroll bars.

                                    If the dialog was pinned to the page, then it would be easier to see the rest of the page when scrolling.

                                      • Add some jazzed up demo's like OpenLaszlo

                                        The current demos are very functional & neat, but may some with some jazzed up UI's could be nice. It would take some integration with maybe some other 3rd party toolkits.

                                          Thanks for the suggestion. We wholeheartedly agree that the demos need some improvement. We are working on a very nice Form Runner and Form Builder combo which we think will be very nice, so stay tuned!

                                        • xxforms:dialog: allow label to be changed dynamically

                                          Right now the server does not sent anything to the client when the label of a dialog changes. This is an issue, in particular, when changing the language for a page, and titles for dialogs are expected to change as well.
