Hugh, Tinderbox looks incredible. It almost tempts me to get a Mac. Darn things are costly though! You’d think somebody would be working on an open source project to emulate Tinderbox.

Bill, Idealist sounds like one of the old time greats. It’s incomprehensible that such great software drops from the scene. I find, however that there is an ongoing project developing an open source version: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/qercus/index.php?title=Main_Page

MongoDB is a document-oriented database that may allow multiple independent fields. MongoDB works well with Scala. I hold out hope that the project may not be as difficult as it appears, but I will endeavor to use good sense as to whether to attempt it. I will at least make a few steps in that direction before deciding with finality.

I will also work with some of these other suggestions. Thanks to all.

Yeah, Little Red Hen has suggested itself as a name. I’ve had another name in mind; we’ll see.

Still wishing to talk with a programmer/developer about the whole thing. Wrote to Keith Blount (or at least to Scrivener); no word back as yet.
All the Best,
Andy
