GWT-based Visual GWT Designer

A good WYSIWYG HTML form editor should be written in the HTML and JavaScript , emulating the web browser environment is a hopeless work. I have developed a prototype GWT Visual Designer using GWT and NetBeans, check it out and you'll have to admit it looks promising.

The idea of web-based IDE is slowly materializing, there is a number of interesting projects going on. Many expect it to be the next big thing in the IDE world. AFAIK my effort was first such attempt for the GWT technology, unfortunately I will not be able to develop a production-quality tool by myself. Do you think it worth to carry on this project? Would you like to join?
