3.4.1.1 is out and now documented, starting the inference engine

In addition to reorganizing the command groups and two bug fixes, 3.4.1.1 adds 5 more commands, bringing the total up to 60. And I'm happy to report that the documentation at http://agilewiki.org is now up to date.

I've begun then to seriously think about adding semantic relations and an inference engine to the AgileWiki. Inferences will NOT be persistent, but computed at the time of a query. That adds flexibility without much complexity.

The key to making the inference engine practical is in restricting the working set, of course. And this will be done by using the infoset of the current rolon when a query is made.

No, this is not going to be a super intelligent system that can solve big problems. Rather, it can be used to solve small application configuration issues and for defining relationships between the entities to which an application is applied.
