Thank you for the insight - i would appreciate if the project would go 
on and i'm still very interested in a solution to easily manage forms. 
Reinhard - leader of formhandler-project - once wrote me (sorry for 
quoting without asking):
"IMHO the most reasonable was, if all developers working on something 
with forms in TYPO3, would come together and negotiate a single core 
extension that provides the basic functionality and a good API for 
advanced needs. If we could get that there would be no need for so much 
people worrying about one and the same problem and we finally had a form 
handler thats fast, stable and powerfull." (Translated from german)
