  Why do I need to sign in?


  It's too slow after sign in. In general, darni is dreadfully slow today.
  I think the i/o is the bottleneck. I have been deleting files as we
  reached %94 full. 

  Few Otto Normaleconomists will understand the weighted networks.

  Data entry should not ask to fill a name or fill a handle,
  but detect whether the entry is a name or a handle. Ideally,
  one should enter family names as well as they are more famliar
  to users who search. 

  I think you need to start with a simple note, where the screen is cached.

  I think it's better to give people a list of top nodes at the start,
  or just start with a screen very similar to the to one of
  the existing CollEc. It may not be a the best, but some folks
  got used to it. A video link should go to the docmentation
  page.
