The new web pages of Jokioinen Museum Railway are now in test use. In the beginning the testing will be done only by a limited group of users. The pages will be updated to final look and feel based on feedback from the test group and the pages should be publicly online by beginning of May.
New pages are built to a complete site having the Finnish and English language pages of the Jokioinen Museum Railway and also homepages of the Museum Railway Association and the Resiina railway magazine. The basic structure of pages is based to old web pages which have been in use before. The look and feel is updated to be more modern and also the pages are made to be easier to maintain.
New web pages have been tested with Netscape 4.7-, Netscape 6 - and MS Internet Explorer 5.0 web browsers on Windows 98/NT 4/ and Windows 2000 operating systems. In addition to that some testing has been made on Unixin X-Window environment. In practice testing with other operating systems has not been possible. The administrators wish to have feedback from Macintosh and Unix users especially regarding of the used fonts, stylesheets and pictures before the pages are made publicly available.
The people who have been updating the web pages are the track manager of Jokioinen Museum Railway Mr Teemu Virtanen from Riihimäeltä, the coach and railway car manager and treasury Mr Olli Virtanen from Kirkkonummi, the chief of operations Mr Jussi Tepponen from Helsinki and in behalf of Resiina railway magazine an active railway volunteer Mr Teemu Vehkaoja from Ylikiiminki.
