I'm thinking of working actively in this area, as I need dynamic editable tables using
mysql myself.

I'm pretty frustrated about the lack of documentation about lists, and would probably
rather build a new object from scratch.
Couldn't this be achieved through creating a grid of whatever gadgets you want and put
them in a pane?
From what I can see, you're half-way there.
There's a simple example of an editable list in http://www.rebol.com/view/demos/todo-list.r
I would personally like a new standard list object with the same features as you see
in Windows' lists with sorting, flexible row width, etc. For that matter, it wouldn't
be bad with a standard tree view
object either.
