Colloquium session transcripts
Stanford University staff arranged for typed transcripts of each Colloquium session. The task of transcribing oral presentations can be very daunting. Transcribers are at the mercy of audio quality and unseen interactions inside the auditorium where the lectures took place. Moreover, they may not be familiar with the subjects discussed. And, clearly, where speech is complemented by bodily expressions, transcripts fail.
See edited transcripts corrected for spelling and punctuation, as well as with graphics and tables added. Below is a listing, both in .html and .rtf formats, of the original unedited transcripts:  3

Meetings of the OHS Project Team
The Colloquium spawned a team of people who set out to construct a prototype Open Hyperdocument System. Members who are meeting weekly. Meeting agendas, attendances, and minutes (insofar available) are found via the links below. The last regularly scheduled meetings was held on August 10. The meeting after that was held on October 17.  6

Projects stemming from the Colloquium  7

On-line discussion forums. The Colloquium spawned two discussion forums: unrev-talk and ohs-dev, which may be accessed by threads, by authors and in chronological order. These forums have since been replaced by ba-unrev-talk and ba-ohs-talk, which remained active from 2001 into 2003. See also the Forums section of this Colloquium site.  7A

Open Hyperdocument System. A group of former participants in the Colloquium are currently collaborating toward creating a prototype Open Hyperdocument System (see About OHS). This is an essential piece of work toward completing the still "unfinished revolution." See also the OHS team meeting records (referenced above).  7B
