Hi Nunny, I think the first step is domain modelling, let others understand what you want and which aspects you are most concerned about. The second step is object cotent mapping(OCM), that is to say, how to present your domain entities in a hierarchical structure as nodes and properties. Meanwhile, you should think about node type definition. I am starting a demo called "Ikkyu" from scratch with helps from Jukka and other experts. So, please give your blog demo proposal here and let us discuss about it.
