A Plan for Air Force Use of the World Wide Web

Abstract

The Web pages currently offered by Air Force organization vary greatly in content and format. Some sites offer valuable information in an appealing fashion while others present information of negligible value in an unappealing way. Clearly, Web expertise ranges from advanced to not at all. The Air Force needs to act now to remedy this situation. Public Affairs offices need to be involved in Web development, all bases and major organizations should have a Web presence, Web pages should have a predictable consistency, and people developing Web documents need the training to present a good product. This project will explain the reasoning for the preceding recommendations, then explain how to make them happen. All information presented in this project was gathered or generated by its author, a public affairs officer with more than nine years experience who has been studying the World Wide Web for the past year. The purpose of this project is to influence the Air Force's adoption and use of the Web. The recommendations presented here are easily achievable and will ensure the Air Force and the public get what they need from an Air Force presence on the Web.
