Visual Basic and XML

Hello fellows. Got something realy urgent. I've been asked the following task: "You have to design the interfaces used in a system for developing and publishing XML materials produced by a number of authors who are distributed world-wide."

i ve got to give 2 prototypes.The first one is an author interface. "You have to produce prototype software that harnesses together all the various elements in the authoring system to give the authors an environment appropriate to their skills".

And the second is an editor interface. "Your job is to provide prototype software that enables the editor to monitor the status of author materials, and for author's contributions to be formatted and arranged as required".

Do you have any ideas, demos or code to get something fixed ???

Please reply as soon as possible. If you have some code ready plz mail me " [email protected] " Cheers!
