    Hi,

I have provide a draft for the ODF and XForms session on the OASIS 
InterOp Demo for ODF in the wiki which has been provided by lpod.
Please have a look at
http://interop-demo.lpod-project.org/wiki/odf-and-xforms


Best regards, Oliver

    Hi Oliver,

This looks great. 

I realize this is a very short demo, but maybe you could also make these 
points as you introduce the demo:

- XForms is a W3C standard for defining electronic forms
- ODF specifies how XForms can be used inside of an ODF document

In other words, this demo is not just a special OpenOffice capability.  It 
is a capability defined by the ODF and XForms specification.

Also, maybe mention that you are saving to a local XML file for the demo, 
but in the real-world you ODF would also allow you to POST the form to a 
server for processing.


This reminds me:  I can prepare a slide listing all of the standards that 
ODF references.  I think we can use that to introduce this segment 
(XForms, RDFa, MathML) of the session.


Regards,

-Rob

    Hi Rob,

Thanks for your feedback.

The stuff you have mentioned is hidden in my statement "... leaving out 
some details".

Yes, some more words about XForms and how XForms is integrated into ODF 
are already on my ToDo-list.
I will also provide some more details about the possible submissions in 
XForms - also on my ToDo-list.

It is a good idea to have a slide about the standards which ODF is 
re-using. This will show that ODF is not reinventing the wheel.

Best regards, Oliver.
