You might want to look in the [email protected] archives <http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-web/>.  Twisted-Web is more focused on development *with* Nevow than this list, which is generally about development *on* various Divmod projects - discussion of patches submitted by the community and the like.  Since projects like Axiom, Reverend, Epsilon, Sine (and so on) don't generate quite as much traffic, we still talk about development with those as well as on them here.

Also, TypedInterface (and to a lesser extent, formless as a whole) has been softly deprecated for some time... the absence of a replacement has precluded getting rid of them, but others have noticed difficulties like the ones you're mentioning and the community has not yet, to my knowledge, worked out a good solution to them.

A de-facto Nevow replacement for formless can be found at <http://forms-project.pollenation.net/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki> - although it's called "Nevow Forms", and by a Nevow developer, it's not actually a Divmod project or part of Nevow.

We've recently also been working on a light-weight replacement for other parts of Formless (not so much the form generation) in our "Mantissa" product; no official announcement yet since it's still in a branch, but some good work happened just earlier today: <http://divmod.org/trac/log/branches/signup-config-464-8>.  Hopefully it'll be hitting trunk early next week.
