Martin Cleaver, masterfully.

Brad Neuberg just announced:

HyperScope is a high-performance thought processor that enables you to navigate, view, and link to documents in sophisticated ways. It’s the brainchild of Doug Engelbart, the inventor of hypertext and the mouse, and is the first step towards his larger vision for an Open HyperdocumentSystem.

Hyperscope mocks up the vision of Paper Airplane and the Two Way Web.

Paper Airplane and the Two Way Web [will be] an extension of WikiWiki’s, special web sites in which anyone can add and edit content within the browser. Paper Airplane generalizes Wikis across the entire web, bringing them into the browser and transforming what the web could be. Why can’t the browser natively support powerful editing, collaboration, and messaging tools so that every web site can choose to be as transparent and grassroots as traditional Wikis are? Further, the browser itself becomes a platform for hosting this new web; every web browser is also a web server that collaborates with other browsers in a peer-to-peer network, creating a rich system of nodes that provides decentralized and transparent services such as storage, search, naming, and more.

I’ve met Eugene Eric Kim a few times now. Eugene hangs out in the wiki community, but like myself has an eye for the broader view. The team also includes Les Orchard, and if anyone can call himself a computer scientist, it’d be Les. I’m clear they have an awesome set of contributors.

Makes me wish I lived in San Francisco. Any collaborative idea structuring/concept mapping/wiki-centric people in Toronto really should contact me. +1 416 786 6752.
