Creating a Visual Designer?

Hello all,

I have been planning about creating a Visual Designer. Recently, some people have already raised this point. However, I have something else in mind, would like to have your opinion on it.

I am looking forward to a single view editor, which would have a Visual Designer similar kind of a designer which JSF has. Though, my designer would have components which would be minimal and restricted in context of Wiki engines. I mean to say, we generally have bullets, headers, links, image urls in a wiki page.

So, I want to provide a designer for it, wherein I can drag-n-drop the such components, to do the needful and when its done, I want to generate a XML equivalent of the design created, I don't want 2-way synchronization, instead I want it to be uni-directional, no Multiview.

Design ---> XML

So, is it worth designing such an editor? Is it feasible to create it within next 6 months or so?

Thanks,
