Needless to say, it’s an important task to make forms as easy to operate as possible meanwhile retaining flexibility.

For example, 80% of admin area will consist of forms in their basic incarnation, such as listing sectioned fields of settings with “Submit” button. On the other hand plugins may require all kinds of forms, response types, before-submit validations and all.

A basic form is going to have default decorator. This can be overridden right in the markup if your form requires that. Also you will be given program tools to control submit methods, Ajax, validation, and so on.

Forms, as a critical part of the OpenWack core is most likely to have several iterations through the product versions to mature but at this point we have a very good understanding of their requirements. We have seen them all with other Skalfa products. OpenWack will contain all technical experience of the company and introduce our understanding of the current and future community software market.
