22 May 1996. At present--and with a few bugs to

now up and running. The research resources contains
a small sampling of the sorts of material that will
eventually appear on the site. We are particularly
pleased to include copies of the excellent Shaml
Newsletter , as well as important papers by Salim
Tamari. The internet resources section is more-or-less
complete, although there may be some refugee-related
links that haven't been added. In addition, a broader
set of MEPP-related links is under construction to
serve both the PRRN and the future PDIN site (the
latter focussing on West Bank/Gaza economic development).
The research list should be fairly full and complete,
although revisions/updates from project coordinators
would be appreciated (as would any reports, etc.)
16 May 1996. First beta-test pages posted on the
site. Any users noting graphic or link errors should
report them (and, in the first case, the web browser
that they are using).
