I was thinking about the thesaurus funtion. Most disciplines already have a
published thesaurus which is used for indexing their abstract/citation
indexes. They have already worked out a term levels for each discipline. If
niles could convice thesaurus creators to  could  provide the thesaurii for
endnote, the levels for each term would already be worked out. Niles could
leave it up to each thesauri provider to either distribute the thesauri
themselves, or via niles. More people would use the function if they could
just purchase the thesaurii, instead of creating their own.
One example is the journals file.  Not many people use the journals
function, until they are taught how, and are given a starter set of
journals. If a journals file by discipline was provided, more people might
use it.
