Yes :-)

Mine is supposed to be a "betterification" of Richard's and
Syan eventually merged some of his ideas (mapping values to
fields) with some of mine (the _make_edit_lines() stuff).
Eventually, I see two main areas we need work on: 1) move away
from mapping values directly to specialized tables and better
interact with business objects, 2) maybe reconsider Syan's way
of constructing the edit area layout and move from
_make_edit_lines() to

def add_prompt(lineno, color, text)
def add_field(lineno, position, weight, field_object)
def generate_editarea()

which does look a lot cleaner. I never had any gripes with
that, BTW :-)

No, we should clean up Syan's work and put the following lines
at the top of the others until they are merged into Syans work:

print "THIS IS NOT CONVERTED YET. DO NOT USE."
sys.exit(-1)

> BTW, is the yaml-code still needed ?
IMHO no.

ACKed as far as I am concerned.
