Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist I intend to package GZigZag, which is a Java implementation of Ted Nelson's ZigZag. A stable release is coming soon, and that's what I'll be packaging.
ZigZag is a new way of putting information into computers, kind of a crossing between a database, a filesystem, a personal information manager and many others. And even that isn't sufficient to describe it: it's simply something new. The main point is the unifying ZigZag structure in which everything is in cells or in their dimension-based interconnections. The current version is in many senses a prototype or a preview, but many useful things can already be done with it (for example, presentations and managing your personal information). URL: http://gzigzag.sourceforge.net/ The package is dual-licensed as LGPL and XPL (Xanadu Public License). Debian will, of course, distribute it under the terms of the LGPL. The program compiles cleanly with Jikes, but since Kaffe has a nasty bug that makes GZigZag currently almost unusable with it, I'll be putting GZigZag in contrib for now. When the Kaffe bug is fixed, we'll move to main. -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
