TITLE: Sparrow Web: Community Shared Web Pages
http://sparrow10.parc.xerox.com:8000/sparrow_2.0/sparrowhome.html

ABSTRACT:
Sparrow Web is a software application that runs on a Web server and supports group authoring for pages available from that server. Simple page edits can happen in seconds using only a Web browser. Sparrow Web is also an extension to the HTML page format that allows a page to be read conveniently both by people and by software. It has been used internally by Xerox since 1996 and is now undergoing beta testing at Stanford University, Google Inc., and other sites. It is also available on a free trial basis at
