The tentative plan right now is for Matthew to lead both the View Layout and the Forms portion (in order of priority as View Layout is smaller although some information gathering might happen in parallel). The approach would be similar as what we had done in the past few months with such major features like MVC, Auth, Db etc... Matthew will review old proposals, gather community feedback, look at other sources of feedback (e.g. other languages/frameworks, implementations our services team has done), add some of his own thoughts and the ZF teams thoughts to the mix, and then make a proposal for broad review. There will definitely be reach out to gather the various requirements and thoughts of people out there followed by an official review of a proposal.
Anyway, as I said still building the plan and this isn't final but this is the direction. Both of these components are high priority for us.
