Discussion of Work Package 8 Forms
----------------------------------
Daniel Vogelheim explained the design of the current forms
specification: Forms and controls are stored in elements separately from
the document content (for instance its paragraphs or spreadsheets), but
are referenced by "draw:control" shape elements that are regular graphic
objects. These elements determine where in the document a certain
control appears, while the control elements within the form specify the
control's model specific characteristics, like its name or value. Forms
can be nested. Every control is contained within a form. The current
form specification is extensible, that is, it supports generic controls
as well as generic properties for controls. However, Daniel suggested to
rework these extensibility features. A proposal will be created by him.
New Action Items
----------------
- Daniel Vogelheim: Create proposal for extensibility of form controls
