[Form Submission API] Call for votes! Voting starts ~now!

[Anton de Winter]

Hi ORWG,

Form Submission API

Voting Rules/Instructions

I'd like to formally open the voting for the Form Submission API.  We had some discussions in the skype group chat, but it looks like there's a good amount of consensus surrounding this API.  So, let's vote!

Voting opens: Today, 23 November 2011 at 4PM EST   (1PM EST, 9PM GMT)

Voting closes: Thursday 24 November 2011 at 4PM EST (1PM EST, 9PM GMT)

That gives a voting window of 24 hours.

• Please let me know if you have any concerns/questions (in a separate thread!)
• Editing of the API doc is considered to be **locked** as of this moment.  No formatting can take place until a '-1' vote is recorded in this thread.  Once a -1 is cast, we'll take up discussions in the group chat
• Please let interested parties/groups know (especially if you think they should be allowed to vote or would like to take part in discussions).

Thanks and hope everyone is having a good week!

Anton

Since the values of the OpenRosaResponse message aren't defined I wonder
if it would be helpful to add an alternate structure that would support
translated response messages from which clients can pick the most
appropriate to display.

It would be easier for ongoing maintenance on the part of the people on
the submission endpoint to do this vs. trying to send some sort of
constant that is translated on the client side.

E.g.,

<OpenRosaResponse xmlns="http://openrosa.org/http/response">
<message lang="eng">Form Received! You've submitted 5 forms
today</message>
<message lang="something">Recibido el formulario! Que ha
presentado hoy cinco formas</message>
<message lang="something_else">حصل على النموذج! لقد قدمت لكم 5 أشكال
اليوم</message>
</OpenRosaResponse>

With a fallback to

<OpenRosaResponse xmlns="http://openrosa.org/http/response">
<message>Form Received! You've submitted 5 forms today</message>
</OpenRosaResponse>

If no translations are available.

I'm not sure if anyone cares about this but it was on my mind when I
read the spec.

(Sorry)
