It is just a prototype with emphasis on prototyping the user
interface. Thus there is no working javascript yet.

The whole structure is straight out of the Big HOWTO Template

Thanks.

The idea was twofold:
1: a simple interface to get something started on-line with TLDP
2: a simple off-line tool to get a HOWTO started. Once compiled
the structure of the markup should be sufficiently self evident
for the new author to continue with a plain ascii editor.

Moreover such a form helps in structuring the thoughts and forms
a checklist of what is useful to include.
If we get an on-line too going I feel we should keep both user
interfaces as similar as possible, preferrably identical.
