We have not discuss anything about wizards

recently i have to use fragment extractor transformer and generator
and notice that there is no documentation at all (docs, wike, google)
i have found ,finaly, my way thanks to cocoon list

it will be nice if simple wizards produce simple samples for each 
generator/transformer
just like Eclipse's wizards for some extension points.
