EUROPa is
a different way to connect up
and explore the World-Wide Web.
It was started
at Imperial College, London, UK
on 1994-12-22 by
Denis Howe <dbh@doc.ic.ac.uk>
just to see how far it would
spread. Problems or comments
should be sent to Denis and the
owner of the relevant page (if
any). See below for how to join
in.

Some (non-EUROPa)
pages you might care to browse.
How to join in
To join in you
need to be able to create your
own Web page. Here's what to do:
-
Invent a new
URL to use for your own EUROPa
page, something like "http://my.host.net/europa.html".
-
Take a copy of
the HTML source of this page
using your browser's "View
Source" or "Save as HTML"
function.
-
Replace all
the "Owner of this page"
names, e-mail addresses, etc.
as indicated by the comments
in the HTML.
-
Put something
interesting in the "Other
links" section.
-
Install the
page on your Web server with
the URL you gave.
-
E-mail the new
URL to me, the owner of this
page (below).
-
I will send
back my latest "Next EUROPa
page" link if it has changed
since you took your copy.
-
Update the
"Next page" link in your page
if necessary.
-
Wait until you
receive the URL of another new
EUROPa page.
-
Check the new
page is OK.
-
Send the owner
of the new page your latest
"Next page" link if necessary
(and keep a note of it for
yourself).
-
Update the
"Next page" link on your page
to point to the new URL you
received.
It is important
to follow these instructions in
the order given to ensure that
the ring remains a ring. You may
join the ring at any point but
you may only join once.
To this end, you should check
that any URL you receive is not
already in the ring by following
the links back round to your own
page. You should keep a private
note of old "Next page"s in case
your current one dies, leaving a
break in the ring.
