Hi,
I've already posted this on twitter last night, but I thought I would mention it here as well. I've got a working proof of concept ready to make Display suite work as well on forms. First reactions were positive, but there's more people here, so I'm hoping to get some more feedback on this.
- It's a seperate module right now (it will be in the same directory as ds_extras and ds_search), so it's not enabled by default.
- It only works on node forms right now as it implements hook_preprocess_node_form()
Here's a screenshot, click on it for the large version.
If you have ideas, suggestions or simply hate the idea, let me know!

Wooot!
Empowering DS to change the node form sounds like an awesome feature. Looking forward to play around with it. Panels has its issues when used to override the node form. Wondering if DS does better especially on multilingual forms...
A very, very welcome

Another update - there's a new module, called Renderable elements which is a dependency now for DS forms. Rel is doing the heavy lifting for either registering additional (recursive) elements or even registering custom forms (and builds later). If you enable field group, you could also add groups on say, the contact form.
DS on forms = extremely interesting
Highly interesting, Swentel. I will try out the Renderable Elements as soon as possible.

I think this is the answer.
I've been thinking about this for a long time (this year).
The idea is very simple: I really want to be able to create multiple variants of the "create content" forms, exactly like you can create multiple displays, depending on the context. The UI for the "Manage Fields" tab should be exactly like the "Manage Displays" tab, with all the same functionality: Default, then however many modes you want, so that you can hook up Display Suite and Field groups, to create different versions depending on role, context, etc.
Does that make sense to you all? I'm using field_group and ds: The issue is that we need to be able to customize variants of the content form.
