Abstract

Publication of documents on the web is a non trivial task for non technical people. People that are are not interested in learning the elements of the web and its protocols should be allowed to publish documents on the web in HTML format without having to change their habits or having to learn hot to use new, specialized authoring tools. The FacilUeb Project aimed at studying the behavior of non technical users when confronted with the task of making their documents available on the web, in order to develop a working prototype of the simplest possible interface that will allow them to accomplish this task on both static and dynamic web sites. Final goal of the project was to design a transparent process that would allow non technical users to accomplish this task by using their everyday authoring tools so that they won’t need to acquire any additional specific knowledge.
