[ddj] Building a Visual Wiki

[Heather Leson]

HI Cam, Gautam and others,

While Jump2Spot [1] is not open source, I think Chung's work might inspire
you. He has mapped over 86000 digital stories. Chung, please see the notes
below. I think you and Cam have common interests.

(Disclosure: I'm one of the advisers on this project)
