Formism.

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Fred (ITA) once told me, "I wonder how much longer it takes until CISV creates a from to apply for creating a new form". I had to laugh quite hard, and admit, that in CISV there are so many forms, it's hard to believe. A search at resources.cisv.org actually reveals the existence of more than 50 forms.

A recent contribution to the forms jungle is the AIM motion form. I guess the rationale for this form, was to make sure nobody forgets to include when the motion should take effect and how it is implemented, generally improving the quality of motions. That being said, I think it still looks awkward for anybody reading a submitted motion, that the introductions, how to fill in the form cover almost the first half of the page. Also the font size is exactly the same as the motion text itself causing some confusion, where the actually motion starts, which, for no reason at all, seems locked up in a box.

Back to the drawing board, I'd say: A little more usability would be nice and easy to achieve.
