What's New?
UPDATE ⇒ MIWS is switching to a new domain name, MAOIST.WS.
http://maoist.ws/
[other updated links]
[2008 April 3 -- Reflecting MIWS's goal to have its material be useful in the long term, this Web page is no longer updated every time there is an addition to the site. Instead, select additions will be announced together in a single monthly update. This partly reflects MIWS's view that different tasks, such as creating public opinion and party-building should be clearly distinguished. MIWS does not want to develop an audience of people who consume individuals items on the site as they are announced, as if MIWS were a news or entertainment site. Also, there needs to be a Maoist Web site that is separate from certain dynamics on the Internet that involve high-frequency communication.
Articles that were previously linked on only the "What's New?" page will be organized into sections.]
2008 July 2
- Various Web page file changes (may not make sense to non-computer people):
- New domain name, past year's work, and MIWS's direction
- Home page menu items rearranged, graphical menu buttons added to home page, graphical banner added to movie reviews page in June
· Strings replaced globally to reflect MIWS's new address, with some exceptions (in-text references to "MIWS.WS")
· Strings replaced globally to add links to theory page in Web page footer navigation menus and remove links to news page (still accessible from old home page)
· Incorrect navigation relative links (resulting in off-line browsing problem), in strategy & tactics articles, to home page and section pages fixed
· UTF-8 accent marks and other diacritics converted to HTML entities globally to prevent certain encoding-related problems
These changes are not reflected in footer "last modified" times.
Quick note on this: It's not that MIWS doesn't know how to make itself more visually interesting. It just isn't worth much effort when people who use visuals as a guide to information or enjoyment will end up on other sites anyway or stick to watching videos or playing video games. An entertainment site's linking to MIWS might bring more useful traffic than MIWS's looking like an entertainment site. See "About the design of the MIWS Web site." MIWS's positions on science and agitation on the Internet are also relevant.
