[kepler-users] adding ontologies to Components

[Aaron Schultz]

Hi Chris, this is all under construction, the .kepler directory will 
hopefully go away someday, Save in Library is deprecated, please use 
"Save Archive".

The sources button on the component panel should be used to specify save 
directories, "Workflows" is a default directory but feel free to change it.

Components will eventually show up in the ontology tree when an archive 
is saved, it is still under construction but almost there.  Components 
are showing up automatically in the folders now when an archive is saved.

I believe ontologies also need LSIDs, Shawn Bowers may know more about 
this...

You are very brave to be working from the head....   :)  It may be more 
convenient to work from an older revision,

Aaron
