The site is maintained and updated by me (Alastair Campbell). I work for a company called Nomensa that specialises in making web sites as easy to use and accessible as possible.

Thanks also goes to the Photographers, especially Simon Crowther, Antony Burdett-Clark (racing) and John Carter (freewave), who contributed the pictures that adorn the top of every page.

The new design (August 2004) is by and thanks to Andy Budd.

Technical stuff

After several months of research, I chose Bytemark hosting, as it gives the equivelent of a dedicated server at a fraction of the cost. With this power, space and bandwidth we can hold more media and work on a much better site.

There are several open source applications used by the site, if anyone would like to try the same things:

Wordpress

A ‘blog‘, used for the news, reports and information sections.

Mailman

Used for the committee discussions and news-letter email out to members

PunBB

The forum

Simple Picture Gallery Manager

For displaying the Pics n vids section, and using the gallery mage program to prepare the pictures.

Events Calendar

This is a custom-application written for the UKWA site, written using the Django framework.
