Make it easy for users to create a form that looks good on a tablet
or smart phone, something that can be used for in-the-field use or
used by customers. the forms spits the data into DB, or email, or
whatever the user is looking for. Bonus point for making the whole
thing look native and support the "add to homescreen" web app stuff.
Imagine a slick sandwich order form for bob's delicatessen...

What if you added twilio, where it would call Bob to place the
sandwich order and let him know he has a new online order. Press 1 to
listen to the order again. Too much like campusfood?

This project is one that I would like to work on.

I can code PHP/JS/HTML/CSS/MVC, and do some biz stuff. Would like to
learn marketing. Design is not a strength I possess.

This is something I'm interested in. My senior design project
revolved around a user editable form in PHP4 as a Drupal module, so
I've tried to shoehorn a representation of an HTML form into MySQL and
have a users submit data against an ever changing form.

Primarily IT guy/sysadmin with Linux experience, because I got
pigeonholed with my co-op job during college. Trying to branch out
into more code/development. I'm OK with design implementation and
ideas for improvement but I don't do art or blank canvases. I'd also
like to learn sales/marketing because that's not something I've done.

Alphabet soup of languages - Perl, PHP, HTML (not 5 yet), CSS, Java,
Ruby (learning Rails), tried iOS. I can pick up a new something or
other in a few days but I'd prefer to stick what I know rather than
learning something else yet again.
