Talk:Hypermedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It should be noted that a DVD can contain hypermedia as well.

[edit] Software?

The ouline in the "Software" section doesn't have any context. What is it about? How does it relate to hypermedia? -- Mikeblas (talk) 03:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

It's a list of software that can be used to produce hypermedia content. The article was lacking in content, I saw it as a way to expand it. I thought the list was too small to be it's own article and too redundant to include in the Application software article. I've seen this approach taken in other articles, so I figured it was the way to go with this one. I also figured it was a good way to show the various levels of hypermedia publishing from text-based to graphics. I renamed the section if that helps.

Except, it's not a list of software. Sometimes, it's a list of types of software (eg, "programming tools"), and sometimes its a list of specific products. In either regard, it doesn't seem to be very complete and certainly isn't referenced. -- Mikeblas (talk) 04:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

It would be nice if there were articles for all the software types to link to as examples. For now, the few specific products are only serving as example of types. Like many other wikipedia articles, it's a work in progress. Oicumayberight (talk) 05:39, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
