Forms in masques #14

This is just an idea, but:

Imagine an organization, such a medical office, wants to securely collect structured data. It would be pretty cool if they could create a description of a form and send it out via Masques. People who receive the form can fill it out, and the data wil be sent back to the medical office.

A file the medical office sends the patients would be an xml (or json or lisp list or whatever) file, describing the form and signed by the medical office friend. The data would come back as an xml (or whatever) file, describing, and including, the posted data, signed by the patient.

The form itself would be dynamically generated in swing at run time, based on the description of the form.

This could work in multiple modes:

1) The creator of the form, and only the creator, gets the data. 2) Every identity who receives the form gets everyone else's results. 3) Some custom permissions, perhaps related to groups.

An interesting idea, but I think we should focus on getting the base functionality working first. To me file sharing and photo sharing is top priority with most of the rest of Facebook's functionality next in priority.
