 * Think I’d like to tackle the multiple forms issue that has come up a few times.
   I’m a hack so, no promises.
 * My first thought is, how many tables does the participants database use? Looks
   like three?
 * Also, creating multiple forms could be done by creating one form and using CSS
   to hide different groups (that just hit me, maybe I’ll go that route).

 * The plugin uses only one database, but there are ways to use it for multiple 
   purposes. Read this article for some suggestions on how to approach that:
 * [“Multiple Databases” with Participants Database](http://xnau.com/multiple-databases-with-participants-database/)
 * It will also explain how to make several version of the forms. Don’t try to do
   it with CSS, it will fail because there is logic in the forms to prevent tampering.

 * Excellent, yep, that’ll work for me. Thank you!
