Those familiar with the history of hypermedia should recognize the name Douglas Engelbart. Engelbart is credited with creating the mouse and was an early advocate of hypermedia (actually hypertext). Recent interest in collaborative online authoring seems very similar to Engelbart’s original ideas. The National Science Foundation is sponsor of a project to apply some of Engelbart’s original ideas and this project has resulted in the recent release of HyperScope.
