[phpesp-dev] "xml open source survey standard" for,importing/exporting and transforming it by xsl to any output media

[Tim <tim...@gm...>]

He Open Source Survey developers out their,

what to you think about a "xml open source survey standard" for
importing/exporting and transforming it by xsl to any output media

i am starting to work on a new project based on open survey pilot
(opensurveypilot.org/).
With the new release it will be gpl based an get a new project core
team, us.

I started to work on a new survey display system based on xml/xsl.
Now i realized that is even a lot more powerfull, if we make use it also
as a xml based export/import base for questions/pages/surveys.
I thing the xml-structure for a survey should be mostly the same for all
surveys and surveysoftware. So why shouldn't we cooperate to develop
this new "open source survey standard" ?
It is also very independent from the software itself, so everybody can
use it very easy.

I think it is a great idea and i would like to start with this right
now. But i really would like to to this with many developers/projects
together, to become more universal and powerfull. And i know thats this
is a long term task.

What do you think? Has any of you allready developed a xml-structure for
surveys?
Do you have experience with php-xml/(xsl) development?
Do you think it is a feature for your project?

Their is a commercial standard out their (http://www.triple-s.org/)
which we could use to start.

best whishes and hopefully you will join our development..
