Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] Re: Input forms for UBL :: was "'Opensource' XFormsfor UBL"
Thanks Enric. I've just got to a first sensible package release of 'XForms For UBL' (0.2.1) https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=185090 I'd welcome any comments and ideas for progress, plus anyone with a SourceForge registration is welcome to join - just send me your sourceforge 'unix name'. I'm considering a second project along same/similar lines for freebxml.org (perhaps something like 'freebxforms') and that might cover ebBP and ebCPPA too I hope. Let me know if you have any difficulty finding ways to read these XForms.
