Hi Simon, Jan,

Just for background on the design of the Cecily prototype, the motivation for 
the ability to move and resize tiddlers was so that the creator of a map can 
use the size and position of tiddlers to convey their relationships. For 
example, a bunch of similarly sized items all lined up invites the user to 
infer that they are related. Or, one item much larger than the others implies 
that it is the most important.

The zooming behaviour is needed so that tiddlers of very different sizes can be 
readable. Otherwise the range of practical tiddler sizes would be constrained 
by the readability of the font size.

Best wishes

Jeremy
