Zend Form is getting closer to the core

Matthew has posted a message to the MVC mailing list today with an update on the Zend_Form proposal that he has been working on.

To quote his email:

Greetings, all --

Several notes about Zend_Form status:

I've been working on Zend_Form_Element this week, and have refactored it
to follow the proposal. This has led to a ground-up rewrite which I've
done using TDD -- so it's now fully unit tested.

However, checking it in has broken the code in the incubator, since
Zend_Form has not been refactored to properly use the new element code.
If you want to continue using the Zend_Form code in the incubator, the
last known working revision was r194.

Additionally, Zend_Form has been approved for the incubator. I have now
checked in all current code into the incubator, and this will be where
the code will live and grow from this point forward, until it is
approved for core. I will likely remove the code in the laboratory once
the implementation in the incubator is complete.

Finally, as I've mentioned a couple times, this component is under
active development. I will view any issue reports reported on fw-mvc,
but if I do not respond or apply a given patch, please be aware that I
may not be at a stage where I can do so, or that I may be addressing the
issue with a different approach. When I feel the API is stabilizing,
I'll send another announcement indicating I'm ready for testing.

Many thanks to all who have created forms proposals, commented on them,
or contributed code so far!

Good news indeed, I'm glad to see that Zend_Form is now well on its way to the Core!
