Wow, didn't know gmail had a "send" keyboard shortcut. As I was
saying...
If the CiviCRM "business contact" class has data points you know of
(outside of those listed), could you please let me know. I'll be
searching independently, but you may already have an idea. And if the
redesign has a reference doc, at least for the color palette, that'd
be great too.
Thanks for the help, Toast.

What I have in mind for designing the sign-up form is a seamless
transition away from WordPress; meaning that I'd like the
front-end to be as close to the new layout as possible and the
back-end to have all the appropriate data points as CiviCRM. I'm
still learning about CiviCRM, so I can shoulder some of that, but
the design transition is another story because I haven't seen a
current version (and the version I saw was a jpg, so I don't know
how to extract or interpolate Hex/RGB values from that, let alone
get the appropriate logos). So, if the CiviCRM "business contact"
class has data points you know of (outside of those listed)

Joshua,
This was meant to go to you much earlier today.
Interestingly enough, I didn't realize who you were until I
looked at your email address. I suppose I should start
compiling a list of people who aren't just the "general
public" anymore. Also, you are the owner of the form in Google
docs. All-in-all, you're correct that it would be relatively
simple to export the data and reuse it in Drupal/CiviCRM when
necessary. The front-end design of the document (what is
visible to the people using it) can also be customized either
now or later. Let me know if what I just said doesn't exactly
answer your question.
Migrating the data to a new format shouldn't be a problem when
that comes up. I've read that CiviCRM allows individuals (or
organizations) sign up without assistance to become
contributors/volunteers/donors. Once we have that set up
properly I think it will do what you're asking for.

Sorry for the slow response. I don't currently have a
wordpress id/password, so I can't view the form.
Nonetheless, I was hoping to get a little more elaborate
than something that simply collects data. That in mind,
I've acquired a CiviCRM manual and I'm absorbing as much
as I can. However, with the many concurrent
(non-Drupal/CiviCRM) initiatives the OSDF is chewing on,
I'd like to be able to set something up in time to catch
the momentum when these things launch. So I'm wondering
how hard it would be to fashion the google form in such a
way that it can migrate fairly easily, both from the
back-end data perspective (probably very easy) and the
front-end design. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Kage,
Any more immediate solution like this one is one that
would need
to be implemented in Wordpress. However, if you would
like to have
admin-type access to the Drupal installation get with
me. The
current focus with Drupal is 2-fold: configure the
theme (which is
pending a proper draft from our designer) and configure
CiviCRM.
Any suggestions/additions/improvements to the setup are
welcome as
well.
Joshua,
I have created the form and made you the owner. You can
see the
Wordpress draft at
http://theosdf.org/?page_id=133&preview=true

<http://theosdf.org/?page_id=133&preview=true
<http://theosdf.org/?page_id=133&preview=true>> (you must
be logged
in). Let me know if you need help with anything like
adding it to
a menu, etc.

Public bug reported:
I've gone and obligated us[1], though this is
something a few
of us have
talked about for a while. Kevin[2], our resident
policy geneus,
suggested it contain the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name (of owner)
Business
Business Address
Business Phone number (for verification)
Industry
Can we use your business name in OSDF publications
in the future?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd be happy to build a mock up if this is
something we can up and
running in the next 5 days or so.
Any takers?
