XForms in Star Office

I was fortunate enough to attend Lars Oppermann's presentation on XForms in Star Office 8 at XML 2004. I was stunned at the power of this new feature and have been "chomping at the bit" for the Open Office equivalent to be released. Looks like OpenOffice 2.0 has this feature, and is now available as a snapshot build, though not a stable release yet.

Today, Erwin Tenhumberg posted a tutorial for getting started with XForms. You can check it out here: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/dancer/20050413#just_switch_xml_form_documents

Thanks to all the folks at Sun working on Star Office and Open Office, and thanks to Lars and Erwin!
