I think it's great to work through wizards as they help
allot to
understand as they give the opportunity to explain. I would
also
incorporate some kind of help icon (?) that could be placed
wherever
it's needed to give extra information in the form of
tool-tips.

This could actually be done in a very nice way with the
lightbox or
thickbox JS libraries and works very smoothly, and I don't
think it's
very hard to place the content inside. I guess you know the
libraries
which are everywhere this days. http://jquery.com/de
mo/thickbox/
Actually thickbox has a login demo in the ajax examples.

I'll repeat that this wizard things are excellent are giving
a very
nice/friendly feel to manta, I wonder which other ideas you
are still
waiting to release...  Joking,
and I know you had already talked
about the wizards, but seeing it shows it better and
triggers a lot of
ideas too...
we should definitely go this way and make it fully
ajaxyfied...
I also believe Miguel should get more involved as he likes
to play
with all this JS libraries a lot, and we've been working
with all this
stuff for some time now, so he can contribute a lot on this
I
believe... I hope he gets the time.
