I wonder though - if the demand has grown so high for such a short list, why not work with those who have written secondary literature on them or have used them in the classroom in order to either:

1. create critical editions of the hypertexts, surely a benefit to both teachers and students?

and/or,

2. create a critical (Eastgate? or general?) hypertext reader for use in the classroom, complemented by solid, frequently used secondary sources?

I know that the New Media Reader has some of this, but its range ends at ... 1992 or 94?

If the academy is a core target audience, why not - well - target it?

Adrian Miles and Stuart Moulthrop were trying to do something like that for _afternoon_ for a while, but I don't know where that project is now. But you're right, either one of the above would surely benefit the teaching community.
