    140158* All the node will then be passed to generator function which will link all the nodes and convert it into a wizard template.
    141159
    142 * For mobile interfaces, the idea is to develop S3SQLWizardMobileForm which will morph one steps into  three.

     164The alternative approach is been discussed here - http://logs.sahanafoundation.org/sahana-eden/2013-04-30.txt
     165The Idea of this approach is to define Next Node (the next step) while defining each node.So that that each node know where to go next.
     166Some possible example could be the way State Machine works [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine]
