At our sister site InformationTamers.com, there’s the story of how Topicscape came to be built – the journey through various tools, ideas (even involving ‘programming’ in clay, would you believe?) and realization of the ideas.

If you hadn’t noticed on the download page, the InformationTamers.com server is the site from which most people download Topicscape.
