It's basically a joint project between Kal Ahmed (who started it),
Graham Moore, me, and Geir Ove Grønmo. I'm quite pleased with what
we've come up with so far:

BTW, how far did you get with TouchGraph visualization? I tried it out
myself briefly (a 1-hour Jython hack on top of our engine), and while
it did very well for small topic maps (5-40 topics) it didn't do at
all well for larger things like the Italian Opera topic map. 

Have you been able to get round that problem somehow? (I have some
ideas about how to do it, but would be curious to hear yours.)
