Hi Brennan,

you don't have to provide a huge dataset, everything from 5 to 75 nodes is 
sufficient.

The GraphGist is not a full fledged app it is to discuss and document a graph 
model with _some_ sample data and more importantly sensible query use-cases.

So it should be good if you type them out.

Or you can use the neo4j shell and the "dump" command (available from here: 
http://localhost:7474/webadmin/#/console/ or via bin/neo4j-shell) to dump the 
content of your database into a single cypher create statement,
that you can use for the setup.

Can you raise the non-working things with map / collection / foreach in cypher 
as neo4j github issues (github.com/neo4j/neo4j/issues) with a quick example 
(probably after your submission).

HTH

Cheers

Michael
