Who did join in the conversation? How much discussion was there?
Let's at least copy-and-paste the summary of the Etherpad document here:
Summation of this document
- Backwards compatibility is an important thing and we shouldn't try to replace mforms. Most people agree that just a simple update to mforms to make it php7 compliant is the way to proceed.
- Mforms are used extensively throughout Moodle.
- There are a few places around moodle that do not use mforms and it would be nice to have all areas covered by a library of some sort.
- Previous discussion about forms from the hackfest should be considered.
- HTML 5 validation could be used where appropriate.
- Some talk of using existing frameworks.
- JavaScript form validation libraries.
- Separation of display and validation
- People aren't happy with using devpad as a medium to discuss projects such as this one.
- Potential to improve form design.
- A few ideas / code on how we could implement a JavaScript form library.
