Just an idea, it is.  It would be possible to have the optional stuff 
collapsible.

Anyhow, the point is:  a GUI needs a designer's touch.  This is going 
to make the interface readable, and not confusing  or  scary (as my 
quick mockup is too, of course).  The same is valid for the Wiki, for 
which I failed, in the past, to get past the message "let's make our 
Wiki beautiful" up to the point where we could say "we do have a 
beautiful Wiki".

I've had a nice course on interactive programming with Python, back in 
September.  And I do have a sense for what it takes to program a GUI.  
My understanding is that big changes are probably way out of the 
project's manpower.  And we can surely live with that.  Yet, if there 
are changes to happen, let them be step-wise and adhere to modern UI 
principles.
