[comp.infosystems] X11 based information systems

jjd@sic.epfl.ch (01/16/91)

We would like to implement an electronic information system for our University.
It should be as simple as possible, that is just handle pages of information
organized in an hierarchical way with 3 types of commands: introduce new page,
correct existing page, read page. But, to be up to date, the user interface
should be based on X11. Is such a thing existing already, or should we
develop it ourselves?

I just recently heard of a program called 'boxer' that was developed
at Berkeley many years ago that may somewhat be related to your
topic.  You might try and find out about it.  (All I know is that
things were treated as boxes and you could have boxes in boxes etc.)
Just a fragile pointer, at least it may lend some concepts since it
sounds like it was before X...)
