About Form Assembly 2.0
Form Assembly 2.0 is coming. I’m putting a few other projects on the back-burner (wForms, Time-Tracker, etc…) in order to spend more time on it, and hopefully meet my self-imposed deadline of November 1st.
Form Assembly 2.0 is aiming to be a one-stop resource for everything web forms. Existing resources will remain free while new services will be introduced for a small fee. This includes form hosting and response processing. Whatever your skill level is, you’ll be able to easily and quickly create a form, put it online, and receive the responses directly to your email or RSS reader.
More details coming soon and as always, your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Would love to see v2.0! As an aside, have you seen this type of validation/user experience: http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/10/05/form/form4.htm

Ben, thanks for the link. This looks similar to what wForms does. The ‘display of errors, with correct fields hidden’ is neat, though I’m not sure it would work well in all circumstances.

Greetings! Loved 1.0, and am just about to start a new project - should I wait for 2.0? Will work I do in 1.0 be lost?
second question if you have a moment - I’m developing my new app in RubyOnRails - have you any thoughts/suggestions on integration? There’s a little overlap (w/ ajax, validation). I’m looking to use both, and wondered if you had any best practice thoughts.
Thanx, and congrats on a great product - you’ve helped unite technology/usability with a great look (something us coders can use in abundance!).
cheers,
Jodi

Jodi. the Form Assembly 2.0 will be backward compatible, so you won’t lose anything.
I don’t have much experience with ruby on rails. I’m pretty sure wForms and web forms created with the form builder will work in that framework, but I’m looking forward to hear your feedback on this
