So, if I understand this correctly, it's the latest in a series of attempts by Alan Kay to find the right home for his vision of a new Xerox PARC. That began with VPRI (NSF funded), then CDG (SAP funded), and now HARC (YCR funded).
As I understand it, VPRI wrapped up because they ran out of money. I wonder what caused the move away from CDG?
Regardless, I hope he succeeds before we run out of four-letter acronyms funded by three-letter acronyms.
(Edit: CPRG -> CDG, my bad)
- mflindell 10y agoI don't think they ran out of money, from the final report is sounds like they just finished the research project. VPRI is just moving to ycom now.
- cycomachead 10y agoMy understanding is that VP who was championing CDG at SAP left and they didn't have the support they wanted or needed to do research.
