[K12OSN] concept web to outline

[anthony baldwin <anthonybaldwin snet net>]

OkAY, what I'd like is to have a form on my site in which students can 
input information into a graphical organizer/concept web like this:
http://baldwinets.tripod.com/sms/essayweb.pdf
that would then convert that information into a linear written outline 
like this:
http://baldwinets.tripod.com/sms/essayoutline.pdf
There is a mac/windows program (works with wine, too) called Inspiration 
in which students can creat graphical concept webs with various images 
and of rather deep levels of complexity. One can create concept 
web/graphical organizers with Kivio or OpenOffice.org, of course, but 
they don't convert to outline at the touch of a button, as in Inspiration.
I am hoping only for a rather simple concept web to outline converter, 
bearing no deeper complexity than the two documents already shown here 
(both created with OOo, by me).
I would like the resultant linear outline to be printable, and possibly 
bear a tag at the bottom that includes my URL (branding...why not?)
This would have to cross-platform and able to work in any browser. I 
figure it could be done with cgi, basic graphics and tables for the 
form, the output generating an html file of the written outline. My own 
skills go no further than the basic html it took to make my sites 
(http://www.school-library.net and http://www.photodharma.com).
Is anyone willing to waste their time assisting me in creating such a thing?
I would be posting it to http://www.School-Library.net (hosted on tripod 
servers, they do allow cgi (they are linux servers).
I'd be your best friend!
It seems that once such a simple form was created, it could be made into 
a simple program (that runs in a broswer or file manager?), too, that 
could be open sourced, possibly to grow in power to eventually be able 
to generate outlines and webs of greater depth. Such a tool would be 
very valuable to language arts teachers. The program, Inspiration, is 
very popular with writing teachers in schools. (I don't mean to 
encourage anything that would violate their copyrights, of course.)

Would there be anyone around here with the time and inclination to get 
involved in such a thing?
Can you suggest where else I might look or what steps I might take in 
order to make this a reality (yeah, okay, learning to program would be a 
good first step, but I would like to see this happen before the year 2020.)
