Hey I have been working on something similar which can be found at http://drupal.org/sandbox/lslinnet/1097520 I tried to follow the same way of adding regions as the flexible builder for panels does, but got stuck on the javascript implementation of the grid layouter.

What the above project currently does is taking a giving structure and a list of regions and creates an slim markup for it along with the accompanying css.

I would be interested in helping out with this project instead of continuing with my own sandbox which is kinda stalled.

I have previously implemented a similar solution but for Panels2 where the layout was defined in json - it is still live and working on www.bt.dk, www.b.dk and 15-16 different other sites.

Would like to see a list of tasks/action points that need to be accomplished in order to define this project as a success.

Hey, nice hearing from you! We are currently working in two branches of the module:

- the main 7.x branch is where the panels backend work (and some basic frontend prototyping) is happening, see http://drupalcode.org/project/layout.git/log/refs/heads/7.x-1.x
- the node/1677196 branch where the layout UI work is being abstracted / work on, see http://drupalcode.org/project/layout.git/log/refs/heads/node/1677196

We likely did not do a good job for now to post a public task list. Our current focus is figuring out the interface data needs and format between the panels backend and the JS frontend and what kind of limitations would this layout builder then have (see http://drupal.org/node/1682904 for that).

@Gábor Hojtsy do you have a graphic mockups or any interface prototype?
Glad to help in this area

@andypost: the interface plans are in a video linked from the project page. Directly at http://buytaert.net/spark-update-responsive-layouts-in-drupal

Actual work on the layout JS UI is happening in one of our branches at http://drupalcode.org/project/layout.git/shortlog/refs/heads/node/1677196 currently.

@lslinnet, are you still interested in helping with the front-end UI?
