CocoonForms are nearly on the top of my Cocoon-ToDo-list ;-)
I expect starting with them in december. If somebody needs it 
earlier and wants to start with its implementation pls let us/me 
(dev@cocoon.apache.org) know in order to avoid duplicate efforts!

If somebody wants to help me with this task or needs a starting point
have a look at this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=106672365000004&r=1&w=2

I like Sylvain's idea of the separate "wizard-layer" and will try to 
use Christopher's hints how to implement it.

Of course important too! 
As Tim will become committer soon I think things will move on very soon

No, I'm not interested in continuations management with forms ATM. What 
I was referring to was "Subform thoughts" [1] by Tim Larson. According 
to it, secure multiforms (or subforms) can be done with new "union" 
widget, and then form POST processing and validation will happen only on 
part of the form identified by the union, which will allow for one form 
definition, and may be one binding, and may be one template file, and 
this will cut down a lot on the amount of required files.
