A Note from the Webmaster of Unification.net

April 24, 1999

Dear subscribers and readers,

Last week, I put online a new server for Unification.net which will support the Unification Home Page outreach effort. Currently the Unification Home Page has about 145Mb of content on the teachings of Rev. and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon in the following languages:

Dutch, English, Farsi, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Kiswahili, Korean, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.

Please contact me about adding more local language web sites, if you are willing to provide the source material, If you do not know how to create a web site, this is a good opportunity to learn. There is no charge for this service, providing you are offering True Parents' teachings in your language. I am not currently offering commercial web hosting. Just about every language known to humanity can now be put online. I have currently 8Gb available, so we can put about 50 times more content online before thinking of upgrading the hardware. The web site is on a 45 Mb connection to the Internet, so bandwidth should not be a problem.

As soon as I have checked out all the services, that they work as intended, then the new server will be switched over to be the live unification.net web server. It will also make possible some new services which I have not been able to offer before, such as

Please suggest other possible services which you would like to see provided here.

I currently host the following mailing lists with the number of subscribers listed as of April 24, 1999:

World Ties 810 subscribers
Unification Texts 676 subscribers
World Scripture 413 subscribers
Unif-Evangelism 524 subscribers

Based on that, and from your comments to me, I know that there are a lot of people reading True Parents' teachings on the Internet. Just this week, one brother in Tanzania said that he now meets people in his country who have already read Rev. Moon's teachings on the Internet without ever having come in contact personally with one of his disciples.

I have moved the Unification Texts mailing list to an automated posting system, so that you will get one whole speech daily. This will alleviate the problem of your getting nothing for several days and then the backlog all at once. Also, many people prefer whole speeches to fragments. Please give me feedback on what you like and dislike about the service so that I can improve it.

Please encourage your friends and family to read Rev. Moon's teachings online. You can have them sign up for the mailing lists at:

There is no charge for this service, and it is no more work if there are 700 or 7,000 or 70,000 subscribers. Spread the word.

Sincerely,

In our True Parents' Names,
