Orbeon form designer customising

> Hello,
>
> I work for a company that is interested in tailoring the Orbeon designer
> and distributing it to end users - who may or may not know xforms - so
> they can build their own electronic forms for a document repository we
> are building.  There are a number of things about the designer that we
> might need to change.
>
> The functionality we may need to implement ourselves includes:
>
> 1. The ability to define metadata in the form of attributes (with a
> custom namespace) on instance nodes bound to a control.  This means
> defining a set of attributes and their respective values for a control
> in an .xbl file with the designer adding these attributes to the model
> when the user places that control onto the grid.  As an optional
> addition, the ability for users to modify the value of these
> meta-attributes from somewhere in the designer.
>
> 2. The ability to define select or select1 control binds in the .xbl
> file with predefined web service callback settings.  The purpose of this
> is so that if the user wants to build a form containing a drop-down list
> with values that can be retrieved from a web service can do so simply by
> placing such a control onto the grid without having to worry about
> adding and assigning HTTP services and actions.
>
> I was wondering if there were any plans to add this functionality if
> this does not exist in the current version (I'm using Orbeon Dev.
> 3.7.1).  Or, if there is no plan to add this functionality, whether
> anyone would be interested in it if we implement and submit them.
