Current form stuff is not very good (uses formencode). Switch to formalchemy would improve this, especially on validation.

As an extra we could utilize the formalchemy pylons admin interface (pretty much for free).

Cost: 12h

Details

1. Replace htmlfill and formencode extract in controllers/templates with formalchemy
   1. Crude and simple
   2. Suppress unwanted fields (revision, state, all revisions) and sort out ordering to be similar to before.
   3. Sort out tag field with a special renderer
2. Validation - testing definitely required.
3. Fix up description and pretty css etc

When you login you get given a cookie but it is very short (life of your browser session I think).

Work out how to extend to something reasonable (30 days or perhaps forever with logout unsetting cookie).

1. A quick investigation to see whether this is possible
2. If possible do it
