Project perspective wise this "WhiteBoard" thing is a very small part
of a much larger project.  It looks like it can have a role in storing
and retrieving "communications" between DSLs that are handling the
"Boids" and between HelperClasses and the end resulting
"WorkSheets" (back into technish).  Line of code wise this is maybe
80/4000 if you don't count the Boids (another 4,000 and growing
rapidly).

....just for some perspective.
