Leo means different things to different people. To me, it's a graph database with a brilliant editing / viewing front end. I see "Leo the app" as an example of what can be built with the "Leo API" For me, the "Leo-ness" is secondary to the API. The stuff I consider most important involves enriching the API, such as convenient access to breadcrumbs (the list of nodes visited, and the type of visit) :-] As mentioned in a recent post, I see in Leo's future making friends with other residents of the graph database world, such as http://networkx.lanl.gov/ Thanks, Kent > > Edward > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "leo-editor" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/leo-editor?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
