For anyone in the Bay Area or attending the O'Reilly Open Source
Conference in Monterey, I will be giving a Zigzag presentation and Birds
of a Feather session at 8pm tomorrow night - see the BOF board near the
O'Reilly bookstore table.

"Zigzag: The Straight Story"
Theodor H. Nelson, Thomas J. Lukka and Andrew Pam
ZigZag is a new structural model for all information and processes
based on multidimensional lists with multiple views and cursors.
Some describe it as a generalization of the spreadsheet, others see it
as an alternative to object-oriented programming and XML.
There are presently two implementations of Zigzag, both developed on
Linux but available cross-platform, the original prototype in Perl
and the gZigzag project (hosted at Sourceforge) in Java. Both will
be discussed and demonstrated together with the history and goals of
the project.

Cheers,
Andrew
