The thinking behind the Abora project, and the design and code
on which it is based is strongly influenced, and in cases built
upon, the work of the following individuals. Without their efforts,
this project would still be an idle dream of the author.
- Ted Nelson for his deep insights and tenacious
enthusiasm for hypertext systems as exhibited by the Xanadu
system. His writings have proven a corner stone of my own
efforts with Abora.
- All the XOC folks for their detailed thinking on
hypertext issues and the resulting Udanax-Gold and Udanax-Green
implementations together with their subsequent open-sourcing in
1999. This gracious act has allowed me to learn a lot from their
design, and the code of Gold has formed the basis of my own
Abora-White subproject.
- Jeff Rush for his Sunless-Sea website and private
email which has been a critical medium for learning about the
Udanax implementations.
Many thanks to all of you.
A number of open-source and free-price tools and services have
been instrumental in developing this application.
- SourceForge for hosting the website and the
development tools such as CVS, mail and bugs.
- Eclipse IDE used for the Java sub-projects.
- Ant build tool.
