I cannot see any content type of "Form" and nor can I see anyway to add it in when creating content and there was no documentation included. So how do I actually get to create a form and put it on a page?

This module seems to be more of a proof-of-concept at this stage than something which you could use on a live site. It doesn't integrate with content types or anything else.

From the demo, it looks like the only way to use the form you create in the form builder interface is to copy the code from the Export tab and then add it to a page callback in a custom module.

Yep that's right, this module is purely an API, it's not a mechanism to create nodes or save any changes. The only implementations so far are a sample implementation (enable the Form Builder Demo) and one for Webform that is in the works (try using the 3.x version of Webform, still in CVS and not yet with an official release).

Webform 3.x ... that would be nice :) I remember one of the first things I did in Drupal ever was to create a 20+ item webform in Webform 2.0. Not fun.

Ahhh I see. Perhaps the file should be marked as dev/beta so it appears in red so those of us who don't read into it much and just download the module are aware of that sooner :P
Any idea when you'd be looking at making it into a content type as I really liked the look of the demo on my site and would love to see it in a working production!

I wanted to make an official release because the Webform 3.x version (alphas coming next week) will depend on it. So I want to have "official" versions that are compatible with each other. One version had to come first.

From the project page:

This project is not yet ready for use in a production environment.

Do not use this project on any production system whatsoever or attempt to implement its APIs, as they are guaranteed to change.

This project is still very new. It contains many bugs, some things don't work at all and no API is solidified.

Plus the version is 0.6 (not even 1.0). Which you'd think that'd be enough to discourage most users. ;-)

Yes I saw that it says not to use on production sites due to bugs but I thought just because it hadn't been tested extensivly, not that it has no usage other than a tech demo ;)

Having used wine 0.x for many years and being stable I didn't take into account the build :)
