Hi Dennis,

please DON’T

The “difficult learning curve” is minimal in some important 
simple scenarios. Try this one
http://demo.deepamehta.de:8080/topicmap/4340
for example.

Excellent explanation...

Who specifically are the typical end users you are designing this software for?  I am thinking there is a difficult learning curve, therefore, requiring a  highly developed sense of technical intuition ... patience, and persistence... ergo, limiting your audience to sophisticated academic / technical people.

My experience with the user interface and minimal documentation seems to confirm this.

If this is true, then I will lower my expectations regarding "ease-of-use" issues. 

I fully understand the "big-picture" concept of what "you" want to achieve -and- I dream it will become a reality. I hope it will be useful to some level of ordinary folks like my highly intelligent neighbor who doesn't know the difference between a quirk and a quark and thinks a neutrino is an old Ford automobile.

Cheers!
