	Feature
		Ted Nelson's Xanadu project was supposed to be the universal, democratic hypertext library that would help human life evolve into an entirely new form.
		Xanadu's manic and highly publicized swerves from triumph to bankruptcy show a side of hackerdom that is as important, perhaps, as tales of billion-dollar companies born in garages.
		Xanadu was meant to be a universal library, a worldwide hypertext publishing tool, a system to resolve copyright disputes, and a meritocratic forum for discussion and debate.

		Xanadu is the elaborate palace in Kubla Khan."
		Xanadu, after years of high hopes, had become a charity case, dependent for its survival upon the kindness of friends.
		Xanadu's regular Tuesday meetings were messy; Nelson would arrive from his Sausalito office with his note cards and his tape recorder and his video camera and wave his hands furiously in front of the white boards.

	:::PROJECT XANADU::: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Xanadu has so much more to offer that should be mentioned, explained and discussed.
		Xanadu is the original hypertext and interactive multimedia system, under continuous development since 1960 - a new kind of literature, a populist medium, a many-to-many publishing system open to anyone.
		Therefore Ted Nelson named his project in 1967 after the Coleridge poem with all the connotations, to represent a magic place of literary memory and freedom where nothing would be forgotten.

	Xanadu Project
		Hartz's complaints include an assertion that Xanadu was improperly chosen because environmental hearings on the plan had not been completed, and that the size of the retail component is beyond the scope of the sports authority's permitted uses for the land.
		Mills' Xanadu pitch left open the fate of the arena - a flexibility that has proved to be beneficial because of the uncertain fate of the Nets and Devils.
		The project was narrowed from six to three bidders late November 2002, with the finalists being Xanadu's $1.3 billion proposal -- which appeared to be the most ambitious.

		Xanadu's transclusion feature ensured that the system would always trace an individual work when it was being read or quoted, allowing authors to charge a small fee for every reading.
		He hadn't been close enough to Xanadu to witness the project's last phase of self-destruction, and he was young enough to accept the financial risk.
		His Xanadu project was meant to organize this chaos, to channel this flow.

		The June issue of WIRED magazine contains an extremely nasty and mean-spirited article entitled "The Curse of Xanadu," by Gary Wolf, which purports to be the obituary of Project Xanadu.
		The article is an affront to the alumni and veterans of the Xanadu project, some fifty of us over the years, contriving to make our endeavors look impossible and asinine...
		However, due to early high expectations placed onto the Xanadu project, combined with a series of wrenchingly tragic setbacks, the Xanadu system is still struggling to reach market, decades after its conception.
