 Background and significance of the research
 -------------------------------------------
 
+The Fenfire project is a free software effort to build 
+a location transparent, hyperstructured desktop 
+environment. 
+The work leading to the current Fenfire project (formerly known as GZigZag and 
Gzz) 
+was started in 1999. 
 
-In several hypertext systems today, following a link means a *disruptive* 
change
-in the user's workflow, replacing the current context (e.g., a Web page) with 
an
-entirely different one. This is partly caused by the dominant graphical user 
interface paradigm
-(developed in the 70s at Xerox PARC) in which *pages* 
-are shown in overlapping, rectangular, unconnected viewports (windows).
-In this paradigm, following a link can only create a new window
-or replace the contents of the current window.
-In our opinion, this is one of the root causes of hypertext disorientation.

-We develop a system, named as Fenfire, which uses novel ways to control 
information 
-flow in the screen.
 
 Our system uses xanalogical storage model [ted-xu-model]_ as a 
 basis for hyperstructured media. Xanalogical storage keeps an index of
