[wp-hackers] Fwd: [GSoC - 2014] Introducing Myself

[Teja Amilineni]

@Deven - This is interesting. Meanwhile, I have been thinking if post meta
is a good way to implement the forms? Each form would a number of
sub-elements and attributes. Can this be handled? Would it be better off
having a new data type. Most of the forms plugins seem to do it this way...
