Stefano -

This is a wonderful tool. I have been watching freebase for a while.  
It has been obvious that it should be important to me. Yet I keep  
creating MySQL databases and developing apps against them....

Actually this kind of tool puts things into a much greater focus. For  
example, I can see, yes, there are quite a few duplicate types. Look  
at http://schemas.freebaseapps.com/type?id=/book/book and you will see  
what I mean.

On this page, the "Entering Data for a Book" link, which appears in  
the shaded box just under the title, leads to an error.

ACRE INTERNAL ERROR -- Please Report to irc://irc.freenode.net/#metaweb

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot read property "id"  
from undefined (acreboot#1122)

	( and so on....)

When this link works, will this be a page with narrative text  
describing how to enter the data, or will it be a form that makes it  
easier to add a book object with the correct information? I certainly  
hope it is the latter.

Let me know if you have questions about what I am seeing, or  
suggestions, or if there is some way I can help. I am on a Mac OS X  
system (10.5.7) and am using 3.0.11 but I also see the error on a  
build of Minefield from the top-of-tree on June 12 (specifically  
2009/06/12 12:07:06 PST).
