3752.0. "Single Collection of Digital URL's?" by GEMGRP::BEIKMAN (dtn: 381-0041 office: zko2-3/O01) Wed Mar 22 1995 12:26

    This is probably a really dumb question, but...
    
    Is there a single source collection of all WWW URL's for Digital
    org's and sites?    The only way I know to collect them is by
    adding to the hotlist when I come across one.   It seems many 
    groups have been making their efforts and products known via 
    the WEB lately.
    
    A single source or location would help me from browsing, which
    can be time consuming.
    
    thank you,
    /sb

3752.2Internal Web PagesNRSTAR::HORGANTim HorganWed Mar 22 1995 13:127
    There is also a page listing most of the internal Web sites on The Web
    Pages, which is a set of pages listing many of the links of interest to
    Digital folks. 
    
    The Web Pages are at http://www-iu.mro.dec.com/public/front.html

3752.6any company-backed policy on web page creation??AXPBIZ::MINDavid MinThu Mar 30 1995 17:0411
I wish that there is a place I can go to and obtain the up-to-date information
of the company.  So far, I think Web pages are created largely in ad-hoc way and
sometimes accuracy of the information stored is up to the autor's discretion.

Maybe a good task for the folks who are charged with information service within
the company?

Also wish that there is some sort of internal UI guideline in term of designing
a web pages.  At a minimum, I wish there is always a way to contact the author
just in case to ask some questions.

3752.7QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centThu Mar 30 1995 23:036
    There is a design guide for web pages - most of the external pages
    follow it, some of the internal pages do.  One of the items is the
    author's initials at the bottom as a link to a bio page for that
    person.

    re: .6
    
    Your comments about looking for an up-to-date source for pointers is
    why we have been doing The Web Pages for some time now. We keep this
    updated very frequently, and add new topics as requested. 
    
    This work is an outgrowth of a project started two+ years ago to
    develop an "information utility". Last year we decided to focus on the
    Web as the basic for that utility, and have been working on making that
    happen since through training, server deployment, the announcement
    directory, The Web Pages, and by working and consulting with groups
    across the company to get them on the Web.
    
    The problem is that there is no single group "charged with information
    service within the company", and efforts like ours need to be justified
    as to payback and other financial metrics. If that can't happen then we
    will see even more ad-hoc services, or more redundant efforts.

Hmm, I thought the whole point behind the Web was that
there wasn't any centralised anything!

    > Hmm, I thought the whole point behind the Web was that

    Sure, but why have lots of people doing very similar pages, especially
    when most don't really want to know too much about html and other
    details. Our philosophy was to make available some of the things that
    could be done in one place (training materials, a reference set of web
    pages, a web directory, a web toolbox, kits, etc.) to help make it
    easier for people and groups to get online more quickly and with less
    pain. 
    
    There's a difference between 'centralized' and 'shared'.

Isn't this what our librarian service or I/S organization should provide? I
think Web is a nice way to communicate (e.g., an org chart) as long as it is
accurate and doesn't result in a message like "requested document could not be
accessed".
