Wild Yeast / Levain / Sourdough starter flowchart

I made a flowchart describing the process of culturing wild yeasts.  What do you think?


 


Flowchart v1.2 [1]

I deliberately left it a little vague because I found many conflicting points of view and too many details make a relatively simple process rather confusing.  I wanted to describe a process that should succeed every time, although there may be a lot of things that can be done to speed up the process.


Please comment on it and/or improve it.  The original file is here [2].  It can be edited with Inkscape [3].


Thanks!


Edit:  I revised it to add a few corrections.


Edit 2009/01/15 - version 1.2 - more clarifications.
