It took me couple of days to prepare the beta of the web site and to
compile binaries of recent sources. Point your browser at:

http://geocities.com/h2428/ww_web_beta/

This site is what I've been working to put on savannah, provided that you
approve my application. The site is developed with style sheets in a way to
create pleasent color experience in graphical browsers that support CSS. On
other hand the site is designed to be perfectly accessible by text-mode
browsers -- lynx.

You will see pages for downloading the sources with instructions for
compilation, and pages to download the binaries with instructions for
installation.

It took me some time to research on different license texts.

I work on this to elicit pleasure and for the feeling that I create
something that gradually grows and evolves to a coplete product. I do not
expect anybody to make anything prorpietary out of my project, and if
somebody does, then I wish him good luck.

I'm perfectly aware of this, I did not mean to diminish the significance of
the GNU project by refering to the whole operating system only by the name
of its kernel, it is just shorter. I like GNU, I like the idea of freedom
and sharing. I use GNU tools every day at work or at home.

It is unclear wether you would like me to go and fill all the forms again,
or this e-mail will be enough for my application to be reconsidered.
