- The Web Of Hope has just got better
We've redesigned the website from the ground up to create a site that mirrors our times. - The Web Of Hope is lively
With news, commentary and analysis, and plenty of new, inspirational stories. And you can have your say as well. - The Web Of Hope is interactive
You can leave comments on stories, and there's more social networking than you can shake a stick at! Twitter tweetly. Face-up with Facebook. - The Web Of Hope is arty!
Arts and ecology, like peaches and cream, Ben and Jerry, Ed and Ed, Popeye and Olive Oyl. We're talking to the brightest young talent. Hopesters are go! - The Web Of Hope is intuitive
New menu bars - one at the top for the basic stuff, including Google search; one below the logo for stories. Lots of contextual help in the sidebars. - A new way of ordering things
We've redesigned the taxonomy, matching it more closely to the real world. Each story is comprehensively tagged and cross-categorised. - Our philosophy
Sustainability is the core of the project. It follows that arguments are heard, debate is joined, rigour is applied, tough choices are faced up to. Thinking is required. - Join the Team
Bill Scott is our first contributor and the team now includes Joshua Konkankoh in Cameroon. Have something to say? Then say it here.

Redefining Progress
Perhaps the real definition of Progress should reflect the real impact that a technology has on natural systems? For example, if renewable energy systems could manufacture the hydrogen required for the transition to hydrogen fuel cell technology, that could be seen as Progress.
