I therefore think it's crucial to get one tool that works out of the box for newbies in 15 minutes to get the other 19.5 graduate students started. Something that allows you to reproduce and play with the diagrams in a published paper would do it, but I think that some kind of data provenance tool is likely to happen first. (See the Provenance Challenge web site at http://twiki.ipaw.info/bin/view/Challenge/ for two benchmark competitions to date, and "Concurrency and Computation: Practice & Experience" Volume 20, Issue 5 (April 2008) for a detailed look at the results of the first challenge.)
