A demonstration system - for discussion purposes

Author: Peter Feltham

This demonstration system runs on the World Wide Web, and is accessible globally, from anywhere on the planet, by anybody who has an Internet connection and a Web Browser of any kind.

The system can give an indication of the kinds of Community Services that a town like Waterloo may choose to make available. It is intended as a document to be used to stimulate discussions between the Town Council, Commerce and indeed any residents of Waterloo who are interested in these issues.

This demonstration was prepared by Peter Feltham of the CommuniTations Group of companies.

Technical Information

• A permanently visible Web that runs off Oink's WellWeb - located in sunny Sausalito, California
• A local copy of the Web which runs on a Windows PC Laptop computer, - and is visible only when the laptop is dialled into the Internet Service Provider in Belgium. (This is also the development machine at present).

The WellWeb version

Pages developed on the PC version of this Web are copied to the Suns using standard Internet ftp (file transfer protocol). Apart from the "whodunnit" line added at the end of each page by The WELL, they are exactly the same as the PC version.

The PC Version

If these systems are accessed over the Internet, the exact same software is used, and exactly the same information is supplied from the Web-Server.

Discussions about Community Systems: what they are, some examples of them, some essays about the best known example of them and where they are going

The recent G7 Ministerial Conference which took place on February 25-26 1995 in Brussels will probably be recorded as a pivotal event by historians. For the first time, the group of G7 Countries focussed on the issues arising from the accelerating change towards the Knowledge-Based Economy.
