Package: Fenfire - a hyperstructured UI
System name: fenfire
Type: non-GNU

Description:
A collaboration and information structuring environment.Focus context views, 
...This is essentially the Gzz project (with the currently splitoff parts 
removed), without the Ted Nelson\\\\\\\'s ZigZag structure.Ted Nelson suddenly 
decided that he didn\\\\\\\'t want a free softwarei mplementation of ZZ (after 
collaborating with us for a long while)and is now saying he will use his patent 
against us.

Because of this, we\\\\\\\'re removing the ZZ structure from the program
and converting to something else (probably RDF) and also splitting
the project to several at the same time, to make sure at least some
parts are usable by others as well.

This part is the core research project of the project formerly
named Gzz, after the more mature parts were spun off into
Storm, Alph, callgl, glmosaictext and vobs.

License stuff should now be ok.

Other Software Required:
Storm, Alph, Callgl, GLMosaicText, Vobs, Java (kaffe), OpenGL (mesa)

Other Comments:
Approved as Gzz, now the patent-covered stuff removed.
