goal of the project is to provide users with the information that they 
want in an easy to use format.  Homepages are being developed for 
various departments and user groups.  The server filters client requests 
by IP and delvers the appropriate page.  The pages point to essentially 
the same core of information, but the top level page layout varies 
depending upon the needs of the user.  
Additionally we are developing a mechanism that will allow users to 
create and place pages within departmental sites.  This information will 
be intended for internal use.  The pages will be created using MS Word 
and the Internet Assistant and saved in a special directory on our 
Novell LAN.  The files will then be moved into the appropriate place on 
the web site.
If you would like any more info, just ask.
