It is good to see symfony keeping going forward, but I am really dying to read the whole book of symfony 1.1 forms~when will the documentation complete?

#2 Brett said about 20 hours later

I agree. I really want to read he forms book when it is complete. It is still lacking chapter five, at least according to some references with the first four chapters.
