Say you had a webform with radio buttons (todo|in progress|done) and text 
boxes to add new items and assignees? Each entry separate (but still on one 
page) so it would only matter if someone else was editing the same /item/ as 
you at the same time. Would that be simple enough?

Yes, just another suggestion that is no help at the moment... But I think my 
php skills would be up to that. If it would be useful I *might* have some time 
over Christmas to put something together...

Yes/No?
