Ok - I would like to do so - I've tryed to create a user account at the 
GUI wiki but it seems that not all functions are working? I could not 
create an account.

How could I start to help?

Could get a PS user to support me with this - I could point how Corel 
Photopaint and Autodesk Combustion are working...

--> Maybe it's not only useful to think about the HSL adjustment dialog 
- there are for sure a lot of other things to look at?

--> It would be so helpful to get an prototyping env. for UI test's for 
example via scripting. I know there are a lot of limitations but what do 
You think is the best way not only to draw images?
I support some coders in the company where I'm working with 
HTML/Java-Script/Ruby and we create really complex interface elements 
for WEB 2.0 apps.
I would like to get some tips, how I as graphics designer with a 
scripting background could prototype and test some interface elements...

Best Regards
