Hey, 

Regarding the wizard, I have been looking around for rails solutions and 
Wicked gem [1] seems like something we could use for steps 1 and 2.  As you 
said, we basically need form with several steps that gets validated and 
submitted. 

I am not sure if Foreman already uses some kind of wizard which we might 
use instead of Wicked. Please let me know if there is something like that.
