I'm not an expert in this area yet, but I suspect you are waiting on some new functionality that has only just been committed on the newforms-admin branch. If you have a look at http://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/4836 you'll see that Joseph Kocherhans committed the subforms-within-forms stuff that is needed for behaviour like edit_inline. On django-developers recently, there was a thread (http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_frm/thread/8b6094bd8811c140/# ) that talked about exactly this. So you could (a) experiment with the newforms-admin branch, since it tracks trunk fairly closely, (b) pull out the relevant bits from [4836] and apply them to your local copy, or (c) wait a little longer until newforms-admin is merged with trunk. The above thread indicates that Adrian is eager to move forwards on this. So it looks hopeful. Sorry if none of these are a perfect solution for you. It's work in progress at the moment.
