NEW APNIC WEB SITE TO BE LAUNCHED MONDAY 20 AUGUST 2001
___________________________________________________________
Dear Colleague,
APNIC is pleased to announce that we will launch a new web site on Monday 20
August 2001.
---------------------------
ABOUT THE NEW APNIC WEB SITE
The new site has been completely re-designed to better meet the needs of
APNIC members and others in the Internet community. It will provide better
access to APNIC information and resources and will feature:
- Clearer directory structure
- More intuitive and flexible navigation
- Improved search functions
- More consistent styling
- Clean, compliant, lightweight HTML and CSS coding
We have also re-written much of the content to provide clearer explanations
of APNIC services and its role in the Internet addressing community. In
particular, new "Resource Guides" will gather all relevant forms,
references, and background information for each APNIC resource service.
---------------------------
TRANSITION TO THE NEW WEB SITE
The directory structure of new site has been substantially updated from that
of the current site. We believe that the new structure is more logical and
will scale more effectively. However, this change also means that many
existing bookmarks will no longer be correct.
APNIC is making all efforts to ensure that your transition to the new site
is as simple possible. In many cases, your current bookmarks will be
automatically redirected to the new locations.
In some cases, where redirections are not practical, customised error pages
will provide search functions, links to the site map, and a reminder to
update the bookmark.
---------------------------
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Your feedback will be vital to the refinement and development of the new
website. APNIC will seek feedback both during the Open Policy Meeting in
Taiwan this month and online.
Other developments planned include:
- Improvement of all web-based forms (following the
example of the new ISP Request Form)
- Further integration of contextual online help
- The "MyAPNIC" secured members-only area
---------------------------
We will send another brief reminder just prior to the launch date. If you
have any questions or comments in the meantime, please email
<webmaster at apnic dot net>.
