Xforms.org website

There is a pretty cool site that came up this summer called Xforms.org.

It looks very cool. The guy who is responsible for the site seems to get XForms and understand its significance.

A lot of the complexity and tedium that arises is modern web UI programming frameworks evaporates when XForms replaces the rather dumb HTTP GET/POST choices of regular, old HTML.

XForms has scored some big customers and major backers during the past year or two, so it really is a viable technology.

It would be nice if XForms.org would post some more entries to its blog about XForms.

What is it with New Mexico? Are they some kind of high tech hotbed?

This is the latest of a number of times that I have spotted a note in their calendar about an upcoming or recently passed XML related presentation, like this one on DocBook.

It is seriously cool. I wonder why I do not see stuff like this in other community calendars?
