=== Bootstrap and the Doug Engelbart Institute === Teaming with his daughter, Christina Engelbart, he founded the Bootstrap Institute in 1988 to coalesce his ideas into a series of three-day and half-day management seminars offered at Stanford University from 1989 to 2000.<ref name=OBrien1999/> By the early 1990s there was sufficient interest among his seminar graduates to launch a collaborative implementation of his work, and the Bootstrap Alliance was formed as a non-profit home base for this effort. Although the invasion of Iraq and subsequent recession spawned a rash of belt-tightening reorganizations which drastically redirected the efforts of their alliance partners, they continued with the management seminars, consulting, and small-scale collaborations. In the mid-1990s they were awarded some DARPA funding to develop a modern user interface to Augment, called Visual AugTerm (VAT),<ref>{{cite web |title=About NLS/Augment |publisher=Doug Engelbart Institute |url=http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/augment.html |access-date=July 4, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130704150436/http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/augment.html |archive-date=July 4, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> while participating in a larger program addressing the IT requirements of the Joint Task Force. Engelbart was Founder Emeritus of the Doug Engelbart Institute, which he founded in 1988 with his daughter Christina Engelbart, who is executive director. The Institute promotes Engelbart's philosophy for boosting Collective IQ—the concept of dramatically improving how we can solve important problems together—using a strategic ''bootstrapping'' approach for accelerating our progress toward that goal.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Doug Engelbart Institute |url=http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/vision-highlights.html |title=Doug's Vision Highlights |access-date=January 26, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081221231428/http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/vision-highlights.html |archive-date=December 21, 2008 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2005, Engelbart received a [[National Science Foundation]] grant to fund the open source HyperScope project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/hyperscope.html|title=HyperScope Basics|publisher=The Doug Engelbart Institute|access-date=August 11, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130809041605/http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/hyperscope.html|archive-date=August 9, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> The Hyperscope team built a browser component using [[Ajax (programming)|Ajax]] and [[Dynamic HTML]] designed to replicate Augment's multiple viewing and jumping capabilities (linking within and across various documents).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/euos2006/view/e_sess/9626|title=Douglas Engelbart's HyperScope: Taking Web Collaboration to the Next Level Using Ajax and Dojo|publisher=O'Reilly Media|access-date=July 3, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222023413/http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/euos2006/view/e_sess/9626|archive-date=December 22, 2011|url-status=live}}</ref><!-- The Doug Engelbart Institute is now based at SRI International.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/about-us.html#3|title=Contact Info|publisher=The Doug Engelbart Institute|access-date=July 3, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130704150345/http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/about-us.html#3|archive-date=July 4, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> I don't think this is accurate – based on the ref I think they are simply leasing space there. -->
