So wouldn't the original WikiWikiWeb be prior art?
I would think there is a lot of prior art. What I wrote above should have been enclosed in <SARCASM> tags. :) After citing several other patents there big key is supposed to be not ahving to download a version of the document and work on it locally and then upload it again. Also I noticed that their software only works (according to them) with Mac & MS OS's. I guess DC should file for a patent based on total cross-platform use! <vbg> Our patent office doesn't have a clue and doesn't seem to research very much either. It's becoming worse than useless. One of the developers that frequents the openhealth mailing lists recently indicated that he had been contacted because he supposedly infringed on someones patent. No details yet but he indicated that it was some basic implementation that many developers have done before. <Sorry for the topic drift> -- Tim Cook -- Cook Information Systems | Office: (901) 884-4126 8am-5pm CDT * It's easy to stop making mistakes.
