About the School of Informatics Web

This is the School of Informatics division of CityWeb, providing useful information from the School of Informatics.

This document describes the layout and design of our Web documents, and a bit about the mechanics of how we make these documents available, from HTML editor to HTTP server.

The Design

You may have noticed the various icons placed in various documents all over our Web hierarchy; a sample set is shown at the head of this document. These allow quick navigation around the most interesting portions of our Web, as well as providing some "command" functions for our Web. The latter functions are:
Information. Usually, this takes you to this page, but some parts of the web may have extra information available here. If you have any problems, click on this.
Comments and Feedback. This provides a fill-in form with which you can tell us what you think of our site. If you spot an error, want to update any information, or just feel like dropping us a line, then select this icon and type away!

You'll find these control buttons on the bottom of almost all "toplevel" pages, including this one.

The Mechanism

Almost all documents which are available in this Web are either written using our WYSIWYG HTML editor, or are generated on-the-fly by a variety of perl scripts, collectively known as generators.

The Team

The School of Informatics section of CityWeb is maintained seperately to the main City University Web, by our local webmaster. Many other members of the department also contribute to the information provided; photos, articles and anything else have been provided by a large number of people, too numerous to mention.
