I strongly suggest Turbovision if you want to save your sanity.
dialog simply provides too little in the way of flexibility and it's a
pain in the a** to use (and I speak from ample personal experience
here :-).

And yes, history has also this to basically not work as a committee
effort.  Only when one person does most of the work and submits it
to the rest for _review_ and general kibbitzing does the whole
process work.  Try and actaully develop this by committee and you'll
still be talking about it around this time next year. ;-)
