> About the alpha 3.8:
> The project attempts to host the tsunamii.net website on webservers in
> a round the world journey. tsunamii.net engages in the process of
> negotiating with the different local
>
> Internet Service Providers and sometimes ISPs/Telcos of the respective
> governments, to host their website. This web journey started from
> Singapore (31st March 2003) and
>
> will 'hop' around the world and return to Singapore in the period of
> one year.
>
> In addition to translocating of the tsunamii.net website, tsunamii.net
> will also build an archive which includes the documentation on the
> entire process for this project as well
>
> as relevant information about the Internet landscape of the countries
> which the website has "visited". At the end of this web journey,
> tsunamii.net will present the alpha 3.8:
>
> archive in an exhibtion.
>
> alpha 3.8 is part of tsunamii.net's "alpha series".
