I need to document some fairly complex program logic. A small part of it
- perhaps a 20th, or 50th - is at:

<http://emberapp.com/evildmp/images/news-and-events-process-diagram/size
s/o>

I can either continue doing it on a canvas (I used OmniGraffle for
that). A bedsheet-sized diagram would look pretty frikkin l33t in my
office.

But maybe, it would make more sense to record each element as something
like a HyperCard stack (and if it can be printed out bedsheet-size, so
much the frikkin l33t3r). In which case, which is the best of the
Hypercard clones?

Or perhaps there's some other better way to capture such information?

You could write it as a website?

I don't have the answer to your question, but I downloaded Rev from
<http://www.runrev.com/> and have had the most cursory look at it, which
left me eager to explore more. Haven't had the time yet though.

And Ember looks very cool. Yet another thing to look at "when I get some
time".

They all seem to be fully-fledged development environments.

I just need objects that I can join up, mainly so that it's easy to
follow the path from one to another in order to understand a process.

It's most useful, though I'd like it to support PDFs too. I got
LittleSnapper in one of the bundles I bought, and use it a lot; it hooks
up to Ember hooks directly.

I guess so. A wiki might be the best way. In fact DEVONTthink could do
it, but but it's rather messy and ugly. I think the stack of cards idea
is the right one for this.
