Since the first two forms doesn't map to a database object, you will
need to create custom forms and manipulators. Take a look at:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/#custom-forms-and-manipulators
Although, the way to create and use custom forms is going to change
soon. Just be aware of that.
You can create three views, one for each step. In the first view,
create a custom manipulator to handle and validate the data that is
entered in that first view. If the data is correct, use sessions to
store a flag that indicates that the user has entered the information
correctly and redirect him to the next view. In the next view you
would then check in the session that the flag for the previous view is
set.
If you will later need the supplied information then store it in the
session too, do not use hidden fields to carry it over different
views.
