XForms

Unfortunately XForms has not really taken off in open source land, quite a few commercial implementations.

betterFORM + existDB

The betterFORM project has released a new version (3.1) of its XForms-based toolkit, with a focus on the combination of eXistDB with betterFORM to provide a complete platform for developing XRX (XForms REST XQuery) applications that use XML technologies from front to back. An graphical installer makes it easy to quickly get started.

chiba : abandoned for betterFORM

Chiba is(was) a webapp for editing XML instances of XSD schema via XForms where the XForms are generated from XSD. Albeit with considerable (and painful) XSLT fixups by me.
