Design: Rolling up Corporate Forms from all Intranet Department Sites

I'm working on creating a rollup content Query Web part (CQWP) to display all the corporate forms listed within our intranet. The basic architecture was to create a custom content type as follows:

[Corporate Form]
From preexsisting columns

  • Title:Single line of text
  • URL:Hyperlink or Picture
  • Comments:Multiple lines of text
  • Owner:Person or Group

New custom column

  • HelpURL:Publishing Hyperlink

Each site will have a list to store the [Corporate Form] content type. This list will allow administrators to add an entry for every corporate form either as an attatchment or a link to another list (such as for Infopath or standard lists).

Hi Chris...sounds interesting...did you ever find a method for rendering the "Person or Group" field using the CQWP? I've not found any resources on that yet, but have come across several others looking for the same info. Thanks.
