Ah, I guess I wasn't quite clear on that. These are "prototypes", user-interface mashups, without actual server-side logic behind it. The next step of the project will be to write the server-side stuff that matches the sentences, and find out how good this his, what the edge-cases are and how those are handled, etc. Finally, it can be made to a working plugin which only does the sentence-editing. The other things like references, images, etc. are a bit harder. These can be built one-by-one to extend this editor, but I think that only the sentence-level editor can be quite useful already. Besides, with only the ability to edit the sentences there will be enough challenges already: performance, security, handling edit collisions, localization, etc. Anyway, it would take quite a while to be able to do everything shown in the third prototype. It shows what we *could* have eventually. The plan is that in half a year the second prototype will be fully functional and available as an extension.
