I wrote to John Jordan informing him about the community access list and
suggesting he join.  I'm particularly interested in their choice of Gopher
and the Internet as a platform.  It seems to have a lot of advantages from
the "chicken-and-egg" standpoint -- you have a lot of interesting stuff
available from day 1 in order to attract users.  Also, it makes connecting
such community systems together almost trivial.  Anyone have any experience
with or comments on this software?

We use gopher at WCC CityNet. We currently have the Council
By-Laws and District Planning Ordinances in gopher, as well as
Council Policy Manual. We are now investigating adding Council
Minutes, Standing Orders, etc.

We have succeeded in getting images in and working, so I'm going
to try and get some images from the Art Gallery, or maps from teh
scheme/ordinances.

Currently we have 1000+ public access users and expect more. We
typically get 100 a month.

You can look at our gopher on gopher.wcc.govt.nz
