[TYPO3-dev] Revamped FORM cObj, take 2

[Patrick Broens]

Hi,

I've updated the wiki with some of my ideas. Have a look at it.
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Form_Wizard_for_TYPO3_4.2

IMHO Powermail is one of the best right now, but not that user friendly 
as I would like. The idea of using IRRE is a very good one. This way you 
can reuse items, something I have in mind as well. The Form Content 
Element should only contain the configuration of the form itself and a 
reference to the elements which belong to the form.

The Form Wizard should be a layer on top of the IRRE records. When you 
add items to the wizard, you add IRRE records, but the regular editor 
doesn't see what's going on under the hood.
