Great!

Yes, that's about what my mother says, too :-)

(Except that she views poems on the wheel, not the bindings.)

One thing about the wheel is something you said earlier: interpretation 
of a d.2 rank should stop at the next negwards d.1 connection. My mom 
has >600 poems connected on d.2, with d.1 headings for each day and 
month of the year-- the mindsun* views don't respect the d.1 headings 
and try to show all poems for all months, which is not very useful.

That's very interesting. If I ever look at 0.6 more closely again, I'll 
look into that.

Currently, of course, I'm also working on 0.8 mainly.

Yes, this is a known bug :( It would even be easy to fix, if I didn't 
have to spend the time to get back into the 0.6 codebase first...

My mother has also experienced problems when inputting lots of text 
(inability to save). Also, one very strange bug: when putting a few 
pages of text into a cell, it suddenly disappears in the cell! It's 
still shown in the edithack window, but not in the cell.
