Formunculous
Formunculous Website Launched
I have been somewhat feverishly working on the design and implementation of a project Website for Formunculous, and I am really quite happy with the results. I've really been focusing on a visual design and illustration skills as of late, and I thought I would be fun to show off some of those results using a Website I've wanted to create for quite some time. Let me know what you think.

a bunch of new features for managing database or email backed Web forms. It offers a lot of new functionality, and continues to bring easy form creation and processing. Check it out at the Formunculous Source Forge page.
Here are the release notes:
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.
