She was responsible for the children's "O'Reilly Family Story". Bronwen believes that if we can stimulate a child's imagination about their own society's heritage, we also help promote that child's sense of belonging in a continuum of time and culture - a valuable accomplishment in today's fast-paced, throw-away world.

HTML, Database design and implementation

Alan is in his third year of a BSC in Computer Science at the University of Victoria. Another "techie", he has a lot of experience working with audio visual equipment and programming in several different languages. He prefers Macintosh over IBM (but still likes getting his hands dirty in unix) and Coca-Cola over Pepsi.

Visit his home page at: vvv.com/~amoore.


PaulPaul Dymecki

Scanning, HTML, Database design and implementation

Paul is in the second year of a two-year program in the Computer Systems Technology Program at Camosun College. Paul is a hard-core "tekkie", and knows programming in many different languages. Along the way he has also learned several human languages (although they are not nearly as interesting),including French, Spanish, Chinese, and English.


BurtonBurton Baskerville

HTML, scanning, maps

Burton was the most elusive of the team, and, ironically, learned this useful skill installing security systems for two alarm companies in Victoria. As you can tell by his e-mail address, Burton is a living Douglas Adams novel, complete with high-tech interface and multiple planes of reality. His only problem was that he couldn't always find an electrical socket where he needed it...

Burton's e-mail address is: burton_the_granulated@sys705.chatlink.com
