Grab your towel, we almost have a liftoff of the FORM project

The past few months I've been working on the TYPO3 Core FORM project. And I'm proud to say it is almost ready. @typo3 posted the sentence “Wow, that new form wizard Patrick Broens worked on definitely looks hot! How do you like it?” on Facebook and I got very positive feedback on it. Thanks guys and girls!

Some minor things have to be done. The most important of them all is updating the documentation, a part of extension development that most developers hate, or worse, simply forget. I always have pleasure writing documentation. The extension comes to live on paper. You are writing about features which you've implemented weeks or months before, and you almost forgot about them. Documentation makes the possibilities in your extension even bigger and during the writing you can gather new ideas for a next release, although you haven't released the first version yet.

Also some refactoring has to be done. I've started with refactoring the Wizard, which is completely written in ExtJS. During development there might have been copied and pasted a line or 2 (yeah right) from one object to another. I know for sure this is the case in the PHP view classes.

Nevertheless, it can already be used. Just grab a copy at http://forge.typo3.org/projects/typo3v4-form/.

At the beginning of May we will start a testing period, but you are very welcome to post any bug to the bugtracker on Forge already. Comments, positive or negative can be send to my email address.
