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 before we can release OBO-Edit 2 to the public.

OBO-Edit users, we need your help! Please add your name to the section or sections to which you are willing to contribute. Feel free to add new sections to the list as well--this is definitely not a complete list. 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.

• 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)
