However, not unlike any good webpage, our page is in no way finished.
Your comments and criticism would be highly appreciated. So far I have
test-run the page in netscape and lynx. it seems to work fine in both
browsers. If your web browser is different from the two I have, please
try it and let me know if there is any problem. We've tried as hard as
we can to keep our page simple, for it can be easily accessed from
different browsers.

The goal of our webpage is to be an interactive online forum for
different activities in our community. Your suggestions with regard to
related websites, and/or any other acticities to which you would like our
page to link are always welcome.

Let me explain a little about how the page is structured. In the
homepage, you will find a link to the Journal of Mind, Culture, and
Activity, in which you will find general info about MCA, abstracts of
articles, lists of book reviews, symposium, and full-text of
introductions to every issue. The index of this section of our homepage
is organized by issue, with complete tables of content of every issue.
Since each issue is stored as an individual html file, you may
a) click at a particular issue to access the file that contains all
the information in that issue. or
b) you may click (from the tables of content) at any
article to go directly to that particular piece.

The online discussions are stored by month as mail files. You may sort
or organize these mail files by the date they were posted, authors, or
subjects, depending on your preference. Right now the discussions up to
the end of January are posted on the page. Discussions from the month of
Febuarary will be on at the end of the month. From then on we will try
to update the archive at the end of every week.

As for the personal profiles, we are still having some problem with html
converter that would code each profile and store it as individual html
file. For those of you whose names are yet to be listed on individual
html file, please do not take offense. We are trying to fix the problem
with the converter so we can have everybody's profile listed as soon as
possible.

Please think of this page as our communal property, any and all comments
would be highly appreciated. I am particularly interested in creating a
webpage that is easy to navigate, for the novice and the seasoned pro's
alike. Your comments on the degree of difficulty in navigating the page
will therefore be very useful. Thank you in advance for you assistance.

Enjoy,

Pim Unalome Techamuanvivit

P.S. For those of you who have access to a text browser called Lynx but
are not quite sure how to navigate the WWW with it, I have a document
that I prepared long ago, explaining basic lynx commands that might be
helpful to you. This is not, however, a particular instruction on using
lynx to browse the XMCA homepage, rather it is a general instructions
which I believe will be more helpful to you. I will post that
instruction for you on XMCA under the subject Lynx instruction. --Pim
