 - objectives of the research

+  We are building something fairly complex.
+  Build a hyperstructured desktop enviroment.
+  Tools for knowledge workers.
+  
+  Our main areas (all strongly interrelated)
+       User interfaces
+               Research on the new possibilities that a more hyperstructural
+               approach to information opens to user interfaces. Many more

+       Structure
+               Implementing Ted Nelson's ideas  (Xanalogical hypertext storage 
model)

 - hypotheses and research methods
+
+  The Fenfire project consists of two parts: research and
+  software engineering.
+  
+  Reproducibility - the philosophy underlying everything we do.

 - schedule and intermediate objectives for the research

 - objectives in researcher training
 - ethical questions or data protection problems of the research

+         undermine their business interests.
