DataPerfect Digital Engines - an Open Source Curriculum
The development of a open source curriculum on DataPerfect Digital Engines, based on the MS-DOS classic, DataPerfect 2.6F - a companion program to the word processing class, WordPerfect 5.1+ - and the application of information ecology principles and protocols. The DataPerfect Digital Engine is being designed as a prototype digital engine designed to make available the wealth - to the extent that information can be wealth - that the zero-based properties of information - zero mass, zero physical size and virtually zero travel-time - offer since digital information is free from the historical constraints on wealth imposed by the laws of conservation of mass and energy.

Housing Court of Kings
Design, develop and implement a Memonstration model of an online information ecology framework to provide increaed equity for tenants - particlarly those proceeding on a pro se basis in Landlord/Tenant cases in Housing Court.
The initiative takes its name from an real life case involving the defense of Information Habitat's home in the Housing Part of the Civil Court of the City of New York, County of Kings - better known to the world as Brooklyn.
The Housing Court of Kings offers a design that draws on the power of the Internet and modern information technology - in conjunction with relevant international agreeements - to remedy the Court's antiquated and dysfunctional information system that is a primary means by which equal protection under the law is systematically denied for low income tenants unable to qualify for legal assistance.
Housing Court of Kings also seeks to remedy current absence of any systematic documentation of the nature of the tenants' counterclaims and of the physical and environmental conditions in the tenant's apartment and building.
The project was conceived as a model by which local governmental bodies can and to demonstrate the value of consideration of relevant recommendations from the Habitat Agenda and from Agenda 21.
