Summer 1998 Hypermedia Research Group

[Front Door] [Agenda] [Minutes] [Proposals]


Agenda, Meeting of Friday, 26 June 1998

Administrative Information

I've looked into summer credit. It turns out that you were supposed to turn in a form a few weeks ago. The registrar referred me to the associate dean's office, but the associate dean's office is gone for the day. We'll try again on Monday. It does look like you'll need a short proposal (which can describe what you've already been doing). Shoot for a paragraph or two. Also feel free to crib from the proposals.

Let's plan to meet on Monday at noon for lunch. As always, I'm open to suggestions.

I'm still working on getting the multimedia labs ready. Due to the vagaraies of the academic year, I'll probably need to pay you in advance (i.e., today).

Note that I'm using a format for the agenda and minutes better suited to the annotation system. In particular, I'm using header tags for the various sections. You may want to read the source text to get a sense of what my markup looks like.

A reminder that Sarah is away for the weekend.

Reports

Sam: HyperWave

My primary goals for today were to install the Java documentation and to get HyperWave up and running. I couldn't find where Raphen put the Java documentation, so that will still have to wait.

However, HyperWave is now up and running on abel.math.grin.edu. No documents are installed, but it may be possible to begin to play with the system (probably on Tuesday). While we've moved on to some other topics, I think HyperWave will be useful as an example of a large-scale hypertext system.

Kevin: Identification Subsystem

Kevin was planning on getting a basic identification system working and on starting to think about groups.

Raphen: Visualization

Raphen continues to learn the AWT. I expect a short progress report will be all that's available.

Hilary: Inserting Annotations

Hilary has begun a fairly large task: adding annotations to the system. She will give an initial description of how that is going.
