Formunculous Project Released
I've posted a code project on SourceForge I've been working on for the last couple months called formunculous. The project page is at sf.net/projects/formunculous. It is a Django application that makes creating database or email based forms easy. It uses a fairly advanced drag and drop based interface for building forms. It can be used for anything from simple email contact forms to complex authenticated applications for programs, event registrations, etc. It handles several types of data including files, pictures, and documents.
Once a form is made live by being within a specified date range, users can complete the form using advanced methods such as interim saving. Once complete, users that are specified as reviewers can view the completed applications in a sortable interface that allows deletions, adding additional data to the form, and adding comments to each completed form. This creates a nice workflow for all parties involved to make this potentially painful process simpler.
Planned enhancements including exporting completed applications as a spreadsheet and allowing the creation of sub forms that create a many to one type form ala adding as many teams as you want to an event registrations. Hopefully in the near future there will be a live demo available for people to check out. Until then I am completely spent after creating the SourceForge project page. It turned out to be a very draining experience.
