The listing of the shortest path has always been a popular feature of my demos. So yes, it would be very good to still have that. Any one of the shortest ones is fine, although one could weigh this by the number of papers between the authors ("strength" of the relationship) and take the best. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

Distances, closeness and betweenness all rely on shortest paths. What are you missing here? Do you mean the paths themselves, i.e. the people on them? In many cases there are many equally long shortest paths between two authors.

Thanks.
Good to know that in the case of authors it is called Short-ID.
I think it would be less confusnig users can't fill in the name vs id field.
Second, where are the paths? The key funcitonality and fun of CollEc is to find the shortest paths. I don't see that functionality here.
