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.
