This is all about the Form Wizard. This will be based on 
prototype/scriptaculous. In the wizard you can drag items into the form, 
move them around for sorting order, do inline editing (clicking on a 
label will give you the opportunity to edit the label at its place, 
etcetera.

This is NOT frontend related at all. For frontend serverside validation 
will be available, perhaps combined with Ajax, but frontend should not 
rely on javascript. My first goal is to get a user friendly intuitive 
form wizard in the backend.
