OBO-Edit: Help document OBO-Edit 2

There are many differences between OBO-Edit 1 and OBO-Edit 2. The OBO-Edit User Guide refers to version 1, and needs to be substantially revised and expanded for version 2 before we can release OBO-Edit 2 to the public.

OBO-Edit users, we need your help! Please sign up below to contribute text for a section! Don't worry about formatting or polishing your text--just send whatever you have to Nomi, and she'll take care of making it pretty.

Please add your name to the section or sections you wish to contribute text for. Feel free to add new sections as well--this is definitely not a complete list.

• Drag and drop layout customization
• Creating new layouts (and other general layout management)
• The new search system
• The new rendering system (particularly the html expression syntax)
• Image plugin
• Reasoner, cross products (xps): Chris M.
• Help for individual components: Nomi
• User-configurable heat maps
• Hotkey system (see John's summary)
