I'm building an e4 app for production. It's going to need a help system. While working on trying to remove the workbench dependencies from help I noticed that it also depends on forms, which depend on workbench. But while looking at forms I noticed that forms only needs workbench for a small number of classes to facilitate forms in Editors. Once I cloned the plugin and took that out, it worked fine as a pure e4 plugin.
It's not quite ready for prime time though. Forms still has its own system for styling the different elements. To be based on e4 "for real" those would have to be migrated to using CSS.
I just thought I'd check in and see if anyone else is doing work in this area. I don't want to re-invent the wheel if there's a solution out there.

Well, that probably saves my immediate trouble, but not my long term trouble of having forms depend on CSS. Since they aren't porting help anytime soon, and help uses forms, I'm probably stuck with help's dependence on forms. Thanks for the reference.
