Talk:XForms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Disambiguation?
XForms is also a the name of a toolkit for X11! cf. http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xforms
- Yeap, its actually a c library for creating X11 programs. I think it doesn't have a future though since its license make it unacceptable in most Linux distributions. xforms@world.std.com for more information
It seems like this topic needs a disambiguation page. I would add one, if I had time, and someday I might. --Chris van Hasselt 19:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Not sure this is really needed. It looks like the "other" XForms is pretty much dead in the water anyway. The home page of that site hasn't been updated since 2002. Ebruchez 10:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)--
[edit] Note to implementors
While talking about the various implementations is good for implementors, this entry must not become the place for marketing. It is of course very tempting for implementors to push their implementation and use the high ranking of this entry in Google. As an implementor myself, I know this quite well.
I believe that it is fair and in line with Wikipedia policies to present existing implementations, but the point of view should remain as neutral as possible: all implementations have benefits and drawbacks, both should be recognized, and blatant marketing should be prohibited.--Ebruchez 00:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- On March 10, 2007 an unlogged user (209.233.49.52) moved the Firefox extension above IBM Workplace Forms in the list of implementations. What is the rational? In what orders should implementations be listed? Should we list implementations based on their popularity? If this is the case, what is a good indication of popularity?
