CUC 2001
Web Festival Topic
In accordance with the Conference topic, CUC 2001 Web Festival
will be a competition for the best Internet community Web site.
"Internet community" is considered to be a group of
people who communicate, exchange ideas, collaborate and work over
the Internet.
Web site of
such a community provides its members with an opportunity for
quality and diverse communication, but also more than that, it
also has to make possible a collaboration over the Web. Another
desired dimension of the Web site is a contribution for the general
public, not only for members of a potentially small community.
In accordance with the Internet use principles, where it is expected
that something gets "returned" to all users of the Internet,
in the grading process, it will be required that the particular
Web site is open and useful for the general public. It is also
expected that the site is the result of the work of a greater
number of the community members.
