I'm not sure what you mean by "One input box per category" -- you mean a
list of categories with checkboxes? If so, you should be aware that on
larger guides this isn't really viable -- I tried something similar
(with a 'tag list' style output, more condensed than anything else I can
think of) and it got really long.

Check out what I'm doing on OG Boston now for something that I consider
to be a slightly better solution.
