fter much development, review and some false starts, a new web site has been launched with my assistance. It is for the Australia Tibet Council a not-for-profit organisation campaigning for a Free Tibet.

The site covers an interesting range of services for its readership, and for members of the organisation…

• an information portal
• a place to purchace Tibet related merchandise
• an email campaign manager for guided lobbying
• online donation and subscription management

• online mailing list manager

I make no claims regarding the content of the site (that is all the work of the excellent executive staff and their helpers), but I am rather pleased with my contribution to the look of the site and the range of services that are provided.

For the record, the site is based on…

• Joomla for the portal elements
• Virtuemart (a Joomla plugin) for the merchantising component
• phpList for the email list management

• subscription management by a ruby on rails application developed by me

BTW, you should seriously consider making a donation to this worthy cause.
