>address hypermedia system needs. A maximum of 10 writers and10 system
>developers will gather for a one day meeting August 19 right after

>(such as a 3D modeling tool) to work within a hypermedia environment
>and (depending on the nature of the tools) in enhancing integrated
>tools to provide new and powerful hypermedia features .
>
>System developers will determine which projects they would like to
