DUG Schweiz Meeting (the first of the year 2013)

Two proposals for the intro:

• D7/D8 short comparison (tutorial videos, guided screenshot tour and/or a live walk-through).
• CRISplay is a CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) display module for common users and simple data (two custom tables, at the moment). I developed it at the end of last year for a Swiss politician — it is supposed to improve the Swiss democratic process (original description: "The True Democracy web application offers public transparency of the signature collection process during Swiss referendums"). Its foundational technical idea cannot be compared with the concept of Drupal's modular/flexible 'content types/fields/entities', nor can it be compared to contrib modules like Webform or Views in combination with VBO.
  There's a link to the True Democracy App (including a brief desciption in German; only the retrieval of data is, due to permission settings, possible) on the homepage of my site.
  Something we discussed lively during the DUG-OX (Oxford) meeting in February: one could develop CRISplay further into something more powerful — the backend would, then, look like a user-friendly Phpmyadmin where users could click&drag&drop table fields/columns into their required MODEL, create field dependencies, VIEW the whole output and CONTROL the displayed data via CRUD functionality. The demand from the user side does exist, as it seems! Many people are used to using MS Access and demand respectively expect similar tools on the Web!!! But there's nothing like that in the Web, a pity. Alone, I guess it would be quite a chunk of work, even with the basic foundation which already exists. Crowdfunding?
