It would be very helpful to me to see your personal journey.  The
dependancy graph stuff would be very helpful. This evening I was
manually tracing some dependancy graphs.

The biggest challange is deciding on the correct terminology.
I think that I will start creating a glossary so new users can look up
terms and experienced users can use 'approved term' consistently. (to
keep the new users from getting unnecessarily confused) A bitbake
file, a recipe, and a package all seem to be the same thing.  I didn't
realize that they were all the same thing until this afternoon.

Thanks
