Abstract:

The process of writing this paper on cooperative web development gave us an opportunity to review where we have been and where we plan to go with the University's web server. Just as our energy waxed and waned in the process of writing our proposal for this session and the final paper, we have seen a similar pattern in tending our web site. The synergy of team development pulled us through both projects. Just as a writer has some vision for what she or he hopes to communicate, so too must a web development team. The shared goals and vision for our web site came to us in various forms including a meticulous planning process for the University's campus wide network (CLUnet) project. Many people and much hard work laid the foundation for the Board of Regents to approve the CLUnet project in February, 1994. With Internet access limited to the computers in the Library and three modems for dial-in users, life changed dramatically in August, 1994 when every office, classroom and dorm room gained a connection point to CLUnet.
