I would like to point out that the development of the Whole Earth Software
Catalog was, in part, an experiment in distributed processing: using DIALOG,
with its remote-conferencing (newsgroup-style), the Whole Earth people
got submissions from all over the country for their catalog. There was
discussion of format, content, and style, as well as submissions of actual
reviews for possible inclusion. So the Whole Earth Software Catalog was,
in fact, a computer-aided project from start to finish.
