[Developers] new Freebase application .. genealogy of influence browser

[Martin Dudek]

Good morning Willi,

thanks a lot for the feedback, very nice ideas and suggestions. I hope
I find time to include them in the near future. Concerning this
project becoming open source, for sure not in the near future (for
that it is much to much a greenfield learning AS3/Flare project right
now). But everyone is  most welcome to contact me concerning
implementation details.

Once more thanks a lot, I highly appreciate

cheers

amrtin
