It took a while for waybe to unfold this sphere:
http://groups.google.com/group/waybe/web/UnfoldSphere.pdf?hl=en
but finally it made a fine (although a bit funny looking) job.

The text input is not very easy to use however. Firts it gives a long
input area but when I want to edit it, it is so short that i can
hardly "navigate" in it.

Another thing I found: it does not automatically creates a line break
at where the page edge is (i.e. a long text runs off paper) so I tried
to figure out how to add breaks. Thinking of it being a webdialogue, I
used the <br> tags but for some reason, the last line seems to be two
lines lower (I don't think I added two <br> tags).

Well, going back to play with it - it's actually great fun!

Yea - we haven't put a lot of love into the text feature yet,
something we'll look into some more.

The sphere is sweet. Gaeius, do you have any suggestions for what
you'd like the text edit feature to look like?
(That short length comes up because of the length of the original
word; this feature was fun to get it to work at all.)

Well, Ryan,

I guess sometghing li8ke the text area in LayOut (at least - although
that is also citicised a lot - but you can at least edit its
perimetres).

Or I don't know - maybe I'll try to come up with something during the
week-end (SCF will close down anyway :)
