This site is
about archipelagoes.
It has many enthusiastic
co-authors, and they all love sailing and islands. They form a group and
all members contribute. The site is therefore a bit wild, but we will
try to find common standards as time goes by. Many archipelagoes are
still unchartered, but we will get to them during personal visits.
Contributions are in as many languages as the "contributors"
have nationalities, and translations to common
languages are under way, we have engaged poor students at the University
of Uppsala for that task!
We have made no efforts to publicize
our site, as it is for our own benefit, primarily. Yet, we have an
increasing number of visitors from over twenty countries. Where will it
all end??
Marianne, Magnus, Sten, Ingegerd,
Linus, Anna, Harald, Anders, Myrtha, Niklas, Jesper, Helene, Caroline,
Lukas, Maja, Gunilla, Kjell, Jonas, Pelle, Kristina, Van, Jens, Pravitt,
Juan, Tore, Andrej, Trine and many others have been engaged in the project since
February 1999.
It is great fun with a joint
project like this, engaging friends around the world, we all agree. Since you have
found us, it is a good idea to follow our progress over the world!
We
have started with our home base, Sweden and Scandinavia, and are now expanding the site
to the Baltic states and to the North Sea and the Mediterranean,
adding archipelagoes as we "travel" along!
The more exotic archipelagoes in
the Carribbean and Asia will have to wait, unfortunately. This project
takes time and we are using only our spare time.
