Nationalistic Endeavor

Philippine History is our main concern.The mission is very simple. Free books and manuscript to all Filipinos. Our knowledge on our country's history is drastically decreasing and little did we know, we are already being carried away by the influence of the western industrialized countries. They use modern technology to attract us and love their country much as we know about our native land. We are going to a direction that paves us to know less about us and that is what we are trying to protect our youth and rebuild that same passion through our little means.

Our editorial team were composed of those who has passion for studies on Philippine history. We will reinvent the way we do research on data that pertains on the study of the Philippines. Rare books and manuscript will be available for general public to help them become more knowledgable on the very land where they came from. Although my team are concern on the technical development of the project, the nationalistic spirit in me was being reborn as we go on with this truly noble beginning.

For sure, the future of modern research and studies would rely on what is available on the net and our children will be the one to benefit on this effort. We are not alone who has same ideas about the project but ours is something that any researchers, historians and simple students will love and worth to vist.

Design Principle for Wikis

As we on the verge of site development, my publisher come up with the idea of Wiki. He asked me if that vision would be possible. He receives positive remarks from us and he tackles his plan to create a wiki counterpart of the popular Wikipedia . So, as we build for the Philippine's first ever Wiki project, we have to research on its fundamental structure. Know also why it gains popular and how the whole site works. Now, I have able to identify my primary concern- designing a wiki. Open - a page could be found incomplete, poorly organized so any reader can edit it as they see fit. Incremental - Pages can cite other pages, including pages that have not been written yet. Organic - The structure and text content of the site are open to editing and evolution. Mundane - A small number of (irregular) text conventions will provide access to the most useful page markup.
