One of the most helpful pieces of information about getting bulbs up and running would be a diagram of all the various services and pieces of software, how they communicate, and which one's are on top of which.

This is the first time I've ever used Maven to build any software, and it's a bit unexpected that rexter.sh seems to know where neo4j is although I never remember explicitly installing it into the system. Normally build to local directory and installation are separate processes. This throws people like me off who just aren't used to Java environments.

It's difficult to tell where Gremlin lives when query or command from gremlin.py are called. Was it part of a process spun up by Rexster when I put it in the config? Does Neo4j run as a DB and Rexster as a Server?

So far the biggest issue I'm having is just getting a connection to my Neo4J DB. I had to finangle the build a bit and will re-try with a focus on accuracy of process and report my results. Code is documented thoroughly in the guts, and that's really helping me along. Nice work!
