Having made a couple unsuccessful trips down the contract form development road we learned forms design is a lot harder than it looks. With the "fail early, fail often" approach in mind I can build a from, test, redo, test, redo until the questions are right, the order of the questions works for the users of the form. When all these huge issues are settled (not that there won't be changes) it is safe to bring in a programmer to access the data via the API and develop some high level functionality. This is going to be interesting.</p> The API is going to be very helpful.
