Re: [Chiba-users] Re: what do you like to be improved?

Hello Andre + Ronald,

you've been heard !

- even if that wasn't exactly what i wanted to ;)

Schema2XForms is surely a very usefull tool which we'd like to extend 
and maintain further. but ... (sorry) it's an addon to Chiba core which 
we currently try to make 1.0 and this still has highest priority.
nevertheless we always open to improvements to Schema2XForms and welcome 
any input and contributions - to be honest we've not used this much 
ourselves pratically. it only exists thanks to Sophie Ramel who 
contributed most of its current code and Bryan Dueck who wrote the 
initial version.
to cut it short - we ourselves will definitely don't have time to focus 
on it until that magic number has been rolled out. please understand and 
don't hesitate to further forward us your ideas about Schema2XForms and 
help to improve it further.
There's at least one patch pending (regarding namespaces in 
Schema2XForms) which i'll try to include soon.
