Help needed for the XForms 1.1 implementation report

Erik Bruchez
Administrator
All,

XForms 1.1 is currently a W3C Candidate Recommendation. The next step
required before it becomes a full Recommendation is a series of
implementation reports. The conditions are:

* Each mandatory feature of the spec must be implemented at least by
   two implementations.

* However note that there is no need that a single implementation
   covers all all the mandatory features of the spec.

XForms 1.1 has a test suite [1] which aims at covering the
funtionality of the spec, and the implementation report is mainly
based on whether those tests pass or not.

Currently, two implementation reports have been submitted to the
Working Group, including one for the Firefox extension [2].

It would be great if there was such an implementation report for
Orbeon Forms, for two reasons:

* The Forms Working Group needs more implementation reports,
   especially to cover those features of the spec which fail in the two
   reports submitted so far. [3]

* It would be great for Orbeon to have a much clearer idea of what
   parts of XForms 1.1 are fully supported, and which need more work.

Because we are quite busy at Orbeon, we need the community's help on
this! The steps needed are:

* Look at the test suite.
* Run the tests and check which pass and which don't, and note the  
results.
* For those tests that fail particaly, take note of that parts pass/
fail.
* If possible, give an indication of how to get the test to pass.

Some of those tests that fail may have easy fixes, some not. Gathering
this information should be very valuable too :-)

So please let us know if you have any interest working on this
implementation report!

-Erik
