Doing my research going through all the mind and life fellows profile, I was quite happy to see some of the stuff on Andrew Olendzki, director of Barre Center for Buddhist Studies website. He has these neat charts called Sutta maps from selected suttas. Check it out:

(edit)
"vitakkavicàrànaü våpasamà -- With the stilling of applied and sustained thought"

What a great resource, thanks for linking to it. I wonder if, someday, someone will edit out all the noise and publish a modern version of the old texts. Update the language a bit, and remove the unnecessary repetition and the long intros, like:
