Re: Explanation
"Explanation difficulty" probably is not quite accurate term. I remember
it was something like "level of explanation" originally, meaning that
smart people understand short explanation and those not so smart need
somewhat expanded one. Another idea, even more important for us was that
different explanations can interpret a topic in totally different ways.
Well, it is a matter of terms only, because a value (set manually by the
author, I think) telling a student how expanded an explanation is must
be of help.

There are two numbers: sequence and difficulty, remember?
At least that's what is in spec.

Since explanation is shareable, you need many-to-many between
it and
topic anyways, and you can add extra field in there for
sequence numbers.
