I don't know how many cohousing-l folks have access to the World Wide Web,
(e.g. via Mosaic, Lynx, etc), but I think some presence there would get
a good amount of exposure.  I have been wanting to dive in and learn about
creating HTML documents (the language used to create WWW hyper-text
documents), and have been waiting for something worthwile to experiment
on.  I don't have permission to use work resources, nor do I personally
have the required connections to actually by a WWW server, but if this
resource is available elsewhere, I'd like to attempt a conversion. 

This would be best if it could include photos/interviews/charts/etc, as
this is what can make WWW documents really interesting.  Also, a database
could be used to track emerging groups, and people could enter/extract
info from it as needed using the Forms feature of various WWW clients.  Let me
know if there's any interest in this.
