Hi Rafael,

I really like these and I do think it's a good idea! Very cool. Thanks 
for sending them along. Right away it makes me think about OpenGrok and 
how we might augment the view, maybe something to explore. I found one 
broken link to startup_end routine diagram. All others look good.

Regards,
Michelle
