I guess that would be an option. To be honest I haven't thought of 
combining Widgeteer with other (server-side) forms solutions, I guess it 
can be very useful but I'm not sure what the best way is of doing that.

The idea behind Widgeteer is that you create a form with simple, 
standard form fields, Widgeteer replaces them with complex widgets on 
the client, using JavaScript. It takes care of graceful fallback (no JS 
means you just get the simple form field), preserving data between page 
reloads and navigation (by serializing to the simple form field on 
unload, and unserializing on load, so the behaviour is the same as for 
simple form fields) and ease of integration.

I think this can be nicely combined with e.g. formlib by just generating 
the simpler form fields with annotations, but so far I've only used it 
in situations with hand-crafted forms.

I'm not sure, I don't know much about the CMF and I think the Zope 2 
stuff hasn't been touched in a long time...

Cheers,
