list of multimedia/authoring/hypertext systems for UNIX

I would like to compile a list of programs for hyper/multi-media, hypertext,
groupware and similar programs available for UNIX systems. I've started with a
small list, attached below, but I hope that you, dear netter, could help me 
to expand the list. I will of course post the result to this news group, if
there is interest.

I've splitted the material in three lists, one for Authoringsystems, one for
hypertext/hypermedia, and one for groupware.

The status column is marked by a C if it is an commercial system or by a N if
it is an non-commercial system, that might be a public domain, shareware or
otherwise freely distributable. I've tried to complete the information on
where to obtain that specific package, either by ftp or by contacting a
company. Unfortunately these data isn't as complete as one would like, so
please help me fill them out.

Since I have a SPARCbox, naturally, that's the environment I know best, and I
might have forgotten to add versions of other systems. This means that there
might only be sun4 listed in the ``system'' column, even if there exist
versions for other system. If so, please correct me.
