For my project i am designing a stand alone GUI but would like to incubate
it to a Browser based User Interface (pretty much like the NimbleX online
customizer ,then it would be truly a platform independent distro
constructor).

The following is my current roadmap:
1.Design a wizard like GUI using Java.
2.Provide options for adding repositories , selecting a subset of available
repositories.
3.Option for Media Selection (i.e final media would be a CD/DVD or/and USB
image).
4.Package selection.

would love if you could give suggestions or comments.
(The choice of using JAVA for GUI is a part of the project proposal and
cannot be changed.)

regards,
