The new system uses databases to store information, and allows anyone with a web browser to both search and update the directories directly. This means that the AusQRD can now become a resource truly maintained by and for the Australian queer Internet community. Anyone with knowledge of their local queer community is invited to check if their local information is accurate and up-to-date, and if not add or change the information to suit, particularly the resource directory. All out Australian queers on the 'net are invited to add their details to the people directory. Help us build the most comprehensive directory of online Australian queer information available. - Chris Albone mailto:yvain@queer.org.au - Wayne Brookes mailto:eden@queer.org.au Australian Queer Resources Directory http://ausqrd.queer.org.au/qrd/ ---> 3rd Australian Conference on Bisexuality The 3rd OzBiCon is open to all bisexual people and anybody with an interest in Bisexuality to present, support and attend.

ICCO aims to implement a series of projects in the first year. We plan to have a Wet site to provide Chinese and English news, special reports, information about global Comrades organizations, and AIDS awareness to Chinese Comrades. We are submitting proposals to various foundations for funding. Although we don't have the funding right now, we hope with your generous help, we can begin implementing some of these plans. We are in need of volunteer computer professionals and graphic designers to design our Web site, and update it weekly.
