here's the first appearance of my collaborative proofing system:
>   http://z-m-l.com/go/sitka/editr.pl

you are hereby invited to kick the tires on it and give feedback...

i especially invite criticism.  constructive criticism is preferred,
of course, but if you need to be destructive, do please feel free.
i have thick skin.  and am fully capable of biting back, if i want.

the interface is displayed in 4 quadrants, 2 on top, 2 on bottom;
the top 2 will fill the window initially; scroll down for the others;
the top quadrants are for smooth-reading, the bottom editing...

i expect my text to be very clean after aggressive preprocessing,
so the emphasis in my system is geared toward smooth-reading.

more instructions to follow, if i get the impression anyone cares.
