I just uploaded a new tutorial to plone.org that explains how to use
z3c.form with Plone. z3c.form is the next generation Zope form library
and excels through ease of use and very good documentation.

http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/easy-forms-with-plone3

Your feedback is welcome.

does this conflict with zope.formlib and the widgets related to
zope.formlib like UberSelectionWidget?

The portlet infrastructure and some other update standalone forms use
zope.formlib. Is it possible to mix these approaches, e.g. use z3c.form
with the portlet infrastructure and reuse widgets? Or will there be do
indepent form libraries with different sets of widgets?

Thanks,

Michael

zope.formlib and z3c.form widgets are incompatible.  But porting widgets
from formlib to z3c.form isn't hard.  We've ported Martin's formlib
WYSIWYG widget to z3c.form in less than an hour, getting rid of some
Zope 2 hacks that proved unnecessary in the z3c.form model.  You can
find the port in the plone.z3cform source.

We've used z3c.form forms successfully in a Plone 3 style portlet in
Singing & Dancing.

You can't use zope.formlib widgets with z3c.form.  However, the set of
stock widgets for z3c.form is in very good shape, and there's people
that actively develop z3c.form widgets, see zw.widget, jquery.widget,
z3c.formjs, z3c.formdemo etc.

So all the add on z3c.form widgets work nicely with the Plone implementation of z3c.form?

I know that the stock z3c.form widgets do.  I didn't need any others,
expect from the Plone-specific WYSIWYG widget I mentioned.  I would
expect that most of the add-on widgets will just work.  Maybe some will
need a bit of integration work.
