AIDSLawProject.net Goes Live!!

AIDSLawProject.net is a non-profit public charity incorporated in California, USA.

Our Vision Statement:

ALP.net is on the cutting-edge of leveraging Web 2.0 technologies in order to facilitate interaction between HIV+ people. It is currently using TIkiWiki software as a platform. The main feature is a series of community-generated wiki pages, AIDSLaw being the first major wiki project. Future projects will include the IMmuneSystem with information on understanding the immune system and how to strengthen it. Registered users will be able to suggest and develop other projects. Many wiki pages will also be linked to a discussion forum.Users also are able to create a personal weblog, and also join groups of bloggers. Users can choose to make their blog visible to the whole web, to just other group members, or to no one at all.

ALP.net is a non-profit corporation, so the public areas of this website are community-governed. We will be recruiting Standards Committee and Board of Directors members, and moderators (and other volunteer labor) from among the early members.

This website can be made multi-lingual (future tense, not quite yet) and so should be international. The virus knows no borders, neither does wisdom.

ALP.net will offer distance learning on various topics. The first topics are legal self-help tutorials for HIV+ people, a writer's group and a book club. We are open to suggestions for other classes.

ALP.net will also seek partnerships with brick-and-mortar AIDS Services Organizations (ASO) to offer web-based services that might not otherwise be available, or to offer new ways of connecting and interacting with their clients.
