Glee's note caused me to seek out what she meant by using
"the Source" (not to be confused with "using the Force"<g>).
I now assume she means the Source column checkmarks
on the person view. Would it be possible to create a mouseover
on each checkmark to reveal the details of the source in much the
same way a mouseover reveals dates and memos in the
Name/Place column? That would save having to open the
tag and clicking the Citations tab to see what source is cited.
Maybe a line can have only one mouseover or maybe it
would be hard to format the citation info (it needn't be complete
for most purposes, just the short title maybe) in a mouseover.
Just thought I'd bring it up because it seemed neat to me.

P.S. Just before sending this, I realized the problem. The
Citations tab is plural. It would get really complicated to show
more than one citation - probably not practical. Sending this
anyway, just in case it isn't so dumb.
