I spent a good amount of time this week working up webforms for purposes ranging from event registration, to incident reporting, to surveys, and more. Once you get going on these, it's easy to crank out a bunch in a short period of time. Sort of nice to have a small problem set for a change as opposed to the big (difficult to even wrap my brain around) problem sets that I get myself into so frequently these days.

It was particularly interesting to research the field of incident report webforms. I found that plenty of municipalities have them, and it was fun to find an approach that blended and augmented the regional incident report webforms that are already in place.

Some questions that came up:

1. What can we offer that's different from the incident report forms that are already out there?
2. Which are the good solutions?
3. Which solutions need improvement?
4. Who needs to be notified and what are their obligations?
5. Who do we notify with situations that are out of our league?
6. What are the critical components to document?

We still need to go through a bit of vetting and user testing on all of the final forms, but hopefully the thoroughness of my contributions will get us most of the way there.
