Interesting thread.
I've often wondered what it would take to provide the "most commonly used" functionality into a wizard system and give the channel developer a WYSIWYG interface to work with when creating their channel.
I do understand that this is a bit more complicated to bring to fruition than it may sound as if I'm suggesting it is; however, it similarly once was the case for DVD-menu authoring as well. Now there are many tools that allow a total novice to create a DVD with text placement, moving clips for menu selections, you name it.
I do understand that it would take a bit of time to develop this, especially if it were done without help from Roku. Also, any firmware updates that Roku pushed that caused changes to the functionality could be a concern for compatability between this "WYSIWYG emulator" and the actual Roku box.
Regardless... I just wanted to share my concept. I believe that many that would like to take a crack at creating a channel for their content (albeit private may or may not be expected) would be more apt to do so if the coding was a result of a design versus the current model which is that the design is a result of the coding.
