: No offense, although it's laudable to want to preserve the memory of that site, let's not confuse that with taking over a site to get more hits to your own site.
: I think the ideal person who will preserve Martin's site will not put ANY of it on his 'own' site, but will instead establish a separate location and NOT advertise their own site on it.
: So in essense a person going to Martin's old site would not know that it was being run by someone else.
: Of course this is all academic unless someone can actually get copies of the old site.
Yes, Although I think that even if you don't have an "old site" of him I think you can make a page on which the pictures made by him (not only scanned but also edited by him) are shown. But than you have a page as memorial for him. Not a recreation of his site.
You can offcourse try to rebuild the site (with old html from martin himself) as best as you can. But than you need someone who saved the html and pictures from his site. (I think I'v got a few vivo's - but that's from a while back)
If there is enough material te reconstruct the site.... Let me know. I can help with technical things as webspace and hosting the domain.
But that's only if we can recreate the website on an acceptible level.
Cause his website was one...................
In memory of Martin Requart, the webmaster of oceangirl.org
(BTW - Maybe there's a backup of the site on martins computer)
You can reach me at mera_og@hotmail.com or my private e-mail addres if you know that one.
