I'd just like to idly point out that an ncurses interfaces does not necessarily exclude a web-based architecture (look at lynx and links, for example). Lest anyone gets misled by the mention of console-based web browsers, I'd also like to point out that I am speaking of a stand-alone app that speaks something like SOAP or even plain old CGI to a web server.
Umm...even a local architecture would include a properly separated backend with maybe a plugin based frontend.
Hmm, SOAP. Then you can have an ncurses interface, a web interface, a Java interface, GWT (whatever *that* is), pyGTK, yMom, MyAdobe, etc.
Can we think a bit smaller at the moment? One frontend. A RAD methodology or a prototyping model. Get the app out quick and fast. Dont worry about the smaller details. They can always be added later on. Incremental lifecycle anyone? :)
