Kaitiakitanga - Guardianship of the environment that supports our culture

Description: Build prototype Whirinaki websites www.whirinaki.org.nz including Forest , Kaitiakitanga and Ngati Whare, Tipu Ake sites and a framework for the rest.

Work is done by volunteers under a structured Dreamweaver environment. Some professional help will be required to modify site templates to give an integrated solution.

It is intended that volunteers will visit Te Whaiti to mentor the school students so that they can take over the mainteneance and further development of these site. This will set the scene for an innovative web design/ multimedia enterprise to be started in the valley.

Status: Prototype going, needs evaluation. Our thanks Madeline Mauwer a volunteer on holiday from the UK who helped split up and move the prototype site to its new locations . AUT volunteer student Trung Ly has provided and upgraded menu system for the Forest site

Start Date: Started October
