How would people feel about switching the categories box to comma-separated
rather than one-per-line? I think it would be a UI improvement.

What about going all the way and making comma-separated the default,
while also checking to see if the browser has javascript support, and
having one input box per category.
An add button at the bottom, and individual remove buttons take care
of the
rest.

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.

Which you've basically already implemented there.

I'd like that a lot. I have a fragment of the AJAX necessary demo'ed at:
http://downlode.org/Code/Perl/openguides-hacking/node_selector.html
The clicky-put-in-listy stuff isn't there (my JavaScript is terrible) but I
suspect that would be the least difficult part.

Sure. http://downlode.org/Code/Perl/openguides-hacking/ajax.txt
Note: "OpenGuides::Utils::Hacking" is a convenience module I hacked up to
quickly create a database handle and OG object -
http://downlode.org/Code/Perl/openguides-hacking/lib/OpenGuides/Utils/Hacki…
Incidentally, if anyone's going to look at this, it would really be great to
be able to drop the script.aculo.us library. I'd be really reluctant for us to
have to distribute it since most of it would be useless overhead (plus
there's stuff like fade-in/out on those dropdowns, which is also useless and
slows things down).
