Webform.com is a form and survey service built on the Open-Source software Drupal and Webform. Drupal has existed since 2001 and the Webform module for it has existed since 2004. During this time, the functionality of Webform has been exclusive to those able to set up a website, or able to pay someone to do it for them. Webform.com is intended to expand the audience that can build simple forms and surveys without needing to set up their own web site.

We’ve completed the configuration phase and we’re about 90% complete with theming. Not including a few lines of code in the template.php file (specific to the theme) and three lines of code in two views to provide some default argument handling (which may lead to a useful contrib module), we have not written one line of custom code.
A total of 7 patches have been written or applied to add or fix functionality, 3 which have been RTBC’d and subsequently committed to the dev releases. Awesome!
Relation is not a field, but an entity in itself. It can store directed but also non-directed relations. It can store as many entities as you want, so storing all five Marx brothers is easy. And, relation is not just simply an entity but a fieldable entity
