A process of
enabling community groups,
organisations and
indivduals to
publish their own individual and independent
web site. There is typically some kind of flaw in the process or inconvenience to participants.
An example of this process, using unix ftp accounts, each group/organisation or individual has access to their directory on a web server. This directory enables them to publish their web pages and files. Each then becomes a user on the system, and may be granted access to some of the facilities or services of the system, for example web stats. Each user has a URL similar to www.company.com/~user/
An example of a program providing community web publishing is VICNET's community web publishing program.
Another example of a program providing community web publishing is Geocities.
