Some of the info is valid for 1.6. Only the style dir structure changed and
the editwizard files itself. How you can do it is still the same.

Actually the backend engine of 1.6 is not so different from the 1.7 one at
the moment. You can use the new 1.7 front end on 1.6. You just have to take
all files from the templates dir without the jsp files. 

The only file you have to modify is the templates/data/xsl/wizard.xsl to get
it fully working on 1.6. Search in the wizard.xsl for 'may' and comment out
every tag which has to do with maywrite or maydelete. And make sure you only
use the code snippets when you are allowed to see them in 1.7
(maywrite==true or maywrite!=false).

So with a little luck you can have the new front end up and running in 15
minutes on 1.6. The advanced extension of 1.6 (IRC it is the 3voor12 one) is
not yet ported to the new front end. I hope, I will have some time to do
this in the upcoming month.
