 ### Models
 
 Simple, equation based:
-- Lotka–Volterra
-- whatever Fe is the minimal of (function of protons/neutrons? discrete)
+- World3 (from limits to growth report)
 - classic predator-prey (Lotka–Volterra)
 - attractors
 - that vegan paper
-x Uranium Critical Mass (meh, too complicated)
+- whatever Fe is the minimal of (function of protons/neutrons? discrete)
 - urban subsidized housing (thinking in systems)
-- World3 (from limits to growth report)
 - Pulse Tube Cooler
+- Hodgkin–Huxley model for neurons
+x Uranium Critical Mass (meh, too complicated)
+- three-body, eg
+  http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/pjpmarques/Julia-Modeling-the-World/blob/master/Three-Body%20Problem.ipynb
+
+Not-Time-Oriented
+- high-precision model for water (enthalpy, etc)

+##### Julia Web Framework
+
+Morsel.jl
+    Classic web framework paradigm. Use this for the wiki.
+    http://juliawebstack.org/
+
+Escher.jl
+    Sort of PHP-like single-file UIs.
+    Might be good for exploration/visualization?
+
+
+##### Julia Markdown Rendering
+
+Try using the Julia built-in stuff, which seems to support basic LaTeX
+rendering.
+If that isn't powerful enough, or seems to "custom", switch to pandoc as an
+external tool.
+
+
+##### Julia Computer Algebra Stuff
+
+Use Sims.jl for flattening, etc! Otherwise this will be really hard.
+
+##### Julia Parser Framework (eg, parser generator)
+
+Parsimonious.jl
+    Fairly close to BNF? Good tutorial. Start with this.
+
+PEGParser.jl
+    Also pretty BNF-like
+
+ParserCombinator.jl
+    More Haskell-like. Meh.
+
+##### GUI Demos
+
+numeric.js
+    Has an ODE solver. Use with Elm?
+
+Tangle.js
+    Brett's JS widget-y thing. Very simple.
+    How did he do plots/graphs for those demos?
+    http://worrydream.com/Tangle/guide.html
