I have submitted shapes and sheet for Living Systems Theory as well.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395766

Are there any guides for allowing user editable variables in the shape
definitions? Is it possible to allow a dynamically expanding array of
values? (Or a collection of objects, each object containing values based on
the shape type.)

I would also like to be able to link SVG exported images together per the
basic standard for xlink. Is there any way to increase the attention that
these feature requests receive? I recall reading that linked documents were
very desirable, the SVG output linking should only require edits to the
exporter and not core engine of dia I think. Adding "link" as a property
value may be the only necessary component.

Here is the description of the attached shapes/sheet:

This is a series of shapes based on Living Systems Theory by James G Miller. It
is a comprehensive set of subsystems that can document any living or nonliving
system. Due to the property of "shred-out" each subsystem can then be analyzed
in the same way, and utilize the same subsystems.

It is possible to document systems like web servers in LST, but the majority of
this documentation will be as useful as the amount of detail included. Storing
variables in each shape is the next intended feature.

Basic documentation on Living Systems Theory is available at scrifoundation.org
