Debrief on Cross-device UIs workshop

[No link]

Steven: I went to a workshop in Germany, and got some interesting use cases. It would be easy in XForms, all we have to do is ensure that instances are synchronised with a server

Erik: I know some javascript packages thhat try to do that.
... Google had Google Wave, where the idea was that changes were synchronised
... it's now in Google docs, the underlying protocol
... Operational <something>
... what it is you are sunchronising exactly is not important.

Steven: Something interesting to think about for the future.

Making <repeat> more usable

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2015Jul/0000.html

Erik: We have this in Orbeon
... we use a component

<ebruchez> https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Form-Runner-~-XBL-Components-~-Grid#basic-usage

Erik: We have components based on XBL
... it's a bit more specific than what you suggest.
... Go to the link, and you will see something similar
... there are constraints involved, frozen rows, and other things

Steven: I'll take a look

Erik: Let me find a link to a screenshot

<ebruchez> https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Form-Builder-~-Repeated-Grids

Erik: Also allows you to move things
... so basically I agree, you usually want the same thing, and that is more than XForms offers

AOB

Erik: Nothing

Alain: No thanks
