[Jon Stahl]

Aaron-

This is way cool.

Can you compare-and-contrast with Event Registration which looks
superficially similar?

> To all,
> I have been working on a sign-up tool for a client which

> It requires ATSchemaEditorNG in order to work.
> Below is an excerpt from the README that explains it a bit more
> 
>   SignupSheet is an add-on product that allows site managers 
> to create custom registration forms for events, workshops,
>   fundraisers and other events that require online 
> registration.  Each SignupSheet defines the fields that are used for
>   each Registrant object they contain, through the 
> ATSchemaEditorNG product.  The Registrant object is what the end
>    user fills out and submits.  The workflow places each submitted
> Registrant in a private state once it is submitted so   
>  that  it can be reviewed and approved. 
> 
>   The SignupSheet has these additional features:
>   o Registrant fields can be exported to CSV
>   o A waiting list and event size can be set, end users are 
> emailed a message stating whether they are pending approval 
>     or on the waiting list. 
>   o The signup sheet view indicates whether the SignupSheet 
> is 'full', 'open' or whether user will be put on a 
>     waiting list. This is calculated using the event size and 
> waiting list settings.
>   o End user is directed to a customizable thank you page.
> 
>   The key motivation behind this product is to provides a way 
> for site managers to setup registration forms that do more
>   than email the fields to an address.  Having the fields be 
> configurable is essential, since many groups have specific
>   requirements for the data they are collecting for their events.

> I would be very interested in feedback and especially any

> Credit to Martin Aspeli, without the example code in Poi, the
