The contribution workflow is very long for first timers #41

I think for people that hear about ontologies for the first time, the whole Identifying new terms section is information overload - at least for a taught tutorial (where people have very little time to build mental models).

Maybe we should start with the demonstration and then go through that diagram as a sum-up? Not sure.

+1 In general, I would like to take full advantage of this being an online/hypertext resource. So we can start with a short summary, then link to a longer discussion, and always link to reference materials. Sometimes I like to do it like this: treat each subsection as a slide, start with a point-form summary of the subsection (with links), then full paragraphs (with links) which could also work as presenter notes.
