Stuff using forms in moin is e.g. in userform.py and in AttachFile.py.

Often a combination of an action with a macro (processor, parser) is 
used for processing (or generating) forms. Form values can be retrieved 
from request.form, maybe grep for that.

There isn't much except the source. And except some ancient beginning of 
a Form handling (no current developer ever used or touched it), there 
isn't much of an API for that stuff.

If you want to work on it, feel free (but development should be based at 
minimum on 1.3.current, or 1.4.current - but 1.4 for sure isn't intended 
for production).

You maybe want to upgrade to 1.3.2 now. :)
