Will later versions of Divine include a built in HTML/CSS editor?

I think it would be pretty awesome to find a way to be able to incorporate Flash into the design of templates. Perhaps when designing the PSD templates, placeholders can be put in where Flash elements are going to go. And then when Divine is launched, the placeholder areas can be linked up to the Flash files via hard drive location or URL.

Are there any plans for a Wizard that a lazy person can launch when they start Divine that will walk them through the process step-by-step?

I saw it mentioned that the extended versions and Divine PRO would be capable of exporting for more than just WordPress (i.e., Joomla). I think it would be really nice to be able to test that feature. It's nice to know how to use software and know how to get it to do what you want it to do before buying. Will there be a demo version available so we can see that capability in action? Or maybe even videos?

Are there plans to put some sort of showcase on the Divine website where people can show off what they were able to create with the software?

Sometimes when I'm using Divine, I need to go back into PhotoShop to tweak things (nudge elements around, etc.) It would be nice if some of those tweaks could be done in Divine. Also, in order to make any kind of changes, I have to close out of Divine and then launch it again instead of just minimizing it. And when I go back into Divine it resets my settings (If I have it set to "show grids" and then close out of Divine to make a little change in PhotoShop, when I go back into Divine the grids are off and I have to go back to Settings and make it show grids again instead of the setting being saved until I shut it off.)

This whole thing seems like such a fantastic idea, it makes me wonder why no one has tried developing anything like this before. Why do you think that is? Man, I wish I had thought of it. Not that I have the know-how to create it anyway.

Maybe a troubleshooting guide and links to other helpful resources like how to set up WampServer.

I was able to follow the videos, but for someone having trouble, maybe some sort of wizard could be developed that could be launched at the start of the program and would walk a person through the process step by step.

I love new technology and love trying new software, particularly design software. I'm also looking to do some freelance work on the side. Since I have a full time job (and a whole lot of other craziness going on in my life) I don't have as much time to put into it as I would like. This could turn out to be a real time saver. When I first read about Divine, I thought it was too good to be true. I figured if it actually did what it claimed it would be pretty amazing so I just had to try it out. I just installed it today and so far I can see that it has ENORMOUS potential.

I have a laptop and a desktop and both run Vista.

Since I'm going to be playing around with the software anyway, why not help out in making it the best it can be? Besides, it's very exciting to be in on something in the beginning and then be able to watch it grow. And sure, maybe I'll feel a little proud in the end when I see how great it turns out and think that maybe in some small way I helped to make it great.
