Hello everybody! While working on my Semantic Multi Edit Page I got the idea of also creating another extension for Semantic MediaWiki which would allow more-skilled users to create something like "search forms" for less-skilled users who might not directly understand the semantic query syntax.
It would be great if the form design syntax for such an extension was similar to the one of the already existing Semantic Forms extension; IMO it would make even more sense to pretty much re-design the FormPrinter from scratch and - during this process - turn it into a more general code base for creating all sorts of forms, i.e. make the whole thing more extendable. As already mentioned here <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/POM>, the current FormPrinter implementation acutally doesn't just print the form (as the name suggests), but also does up to five other tasks like parsing the page that should be edited, handling form input and actually committing the change to a page that was modified through a form. To me, this is way too much work for a class that - going by its name - should only print out a neat form. Redesigning that class is/will be necessary anyway. What do you think about these ideas?
