I'd just like to state that I did try and find this out on my own
first but "django form model api" isn't a vary narrowing search. I've
read through the documentation multiple times but I'm still a little
stuck. It would appear most of the documentation/examples are
outdated. I'm certain this has been answered before I just can't find
the answer.

First, is the current forms api solid? Or are major changes still
planed? It seems like it went through a major change in 2007 and now
2010? The newforms versus forms gets a bit hairy.

2ndly, As a bit of constructive criticism the main tutorial should
really have included a section on the forms api. At the very least the
end of the tutorial should let you know it exists. I know how time
keeps documentation from getting done. I get the whole learning to
multiply before using a calculator thing but I didn't even know about
that part of the API for a while and it's fairly major. When it comes
to forms the tutorial leaves us at multiplication and didn't even tell
us there was a calculator.

3rd, and the main question. Does anyone have a simple working example!
I'm trying to use the form api using my models but the code in the
documentation seems to have a bit of a chicken egg problem. They seem
to show a view that displays a new form or posts and saves a form but
doesn't show how we got the form for a specific record id in the first
place! I'm just trying to create a simple list of records with CRUD.
simple enough just like the admin interface only I'll be putting a
bunch of other code around this.
