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.

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.
