Beau Lebens’ Dented Reality has some interesting projects, like this one…
“HTFS is a complete, database-driven “file-system” on the concept of hyper-text … The basic idea of this system is …[that]… files, emails, notes and links can be stored as unique items – ONCE, managed by a database.” [more]
Hmm, sounds a bit like Ted Nelson’s Xanadu.
I’d love to see some demos of it, maybe sample code too.
