	Our system has remained open and democratic at a time of increasing panic concerning the World Wide Web (www). This project has demonstrated that by giving advice, and using commonsense practices it is possible to run an open, unfiltered system. A database has been built allowing participants to add their own 'multimedia snipits'.
This project uses the First Class conferencing system which integrates a 'web page area' so that every participant can place files in a conference folder to be immediately published on the web. Consequently all project participants have total control of their own webspace and can make subsequent changes which will have immediate effect, for example they can change their web page and instantly view the change on the web.
