Re: How to use Django forms for surveys

Hi, we are developing something like you want, but it's a premature project right now, maybe in few months we launch our first stable version (survey monkey be aware...), the project home page is

https://github.com/solvo/derb , see development branch for a updated version.

So if you are interested in development let me know.
