[Ontology-editors] Cellular component 2.0

[Midori Harris]

I don't think we're waiting for anything besides OE2 release.

>From an editing perspective, all I need to know is:

  - which file(s) to load
  - how to configure the save
  - which file(s) to commit
  - when to switch over to the above

And of course it would be very helpful to have biologist-friendly, natural 
language definitions/explanations of the new relations.

Is there anything else you need from us to formulate a plan?
