*Introduction

   This activity is in a second stage and the web design component has been   
   integrated. The community has been very supportive in donating computers and 
   these machines have been upgraded and provided to a variety of needy   
   community  based organizations. Participants not only learn software 
   applications, but also the practical components of technical computer 
   maintenance and upgrading. 

   The project is supervised by Damien Gooley, and is also anticipated to 
   extend into a further stage. 


  The pc recycle centre is part of the Mission Australia Community
  work project. This is a 'work for the dole' project whos aim 
  is to receive donations of second hand computers from the Wagga
  community and render those computers useful by verifying the 
  integrity of the computer hardware, performing any necessary hardware
  repairs and possible upgrades of hardware components, and then 
  proceeding to install an efficient Operating system and a range 
  of software applications.

  Once the computers have been 'refurbished' or 'recycled' they are then
  donated back to the Wagga Wagga community. Generally the computers
  are donated to community organisations rather than commercial 
  entities.

  I have not really decided what templates to use at this 
  point. Any suggestions welcome


* Links

   u- 'The Original Wiki' http://macwcwagga.homedns.org/ideas/oddmuse-wiki.pl
      This set of pages is being migrated to the new server. For example 
      the main page can be seen now at
    - link:///refurb/old-wiki.html
    - 'A new (zope based) wiki' 
      http://macwcwagga.homedns.org:8080/wftdwiki/FrontPage
      This site also contains some journals of the activities of participants
      for the project.
    - 'Participant Sites' http://macwcwagga.homedns.org/pcrecycle/index.html
      A page with links to participants personal websites
    - Some documentation about this 'web editing' system
      is available in the 'documents' 
      link:///refurb/docs/ directory


* Technical Notes

  Note to Damien: this template is not very good HTML,
  but maybe I could make it more css-ish and standards
  compliant. I quite like the colours.

  This site is still being transfered from the 'old server'
  http://macwcwagga.homedns.org .For example the contents of the 
  various 'Wikis' http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks need to be 
  moved over to the 'new server' http://wagga-cwc.org.au
