| Abstract: | This paper describes the contents and the technical basis of the public EULER World Wide Web server. |
This paper briefly describes aims and scope of that server, outlines
its contents, describes the technical basis of the public EULER WWW server
(incl. its about 30 worldwide distributed mirror sites), and gives a history
of major updates and changes done during the project.
Besides this purely technical point it is quite natural and also standard practice in other projects to use the project's WWW server for more general public relations of the project.
This paper describes the public EULER WWW server, which
is to be distinguished from the project-internal WWW server. The
latter is used for project management purposes and only accessible for
project participants via username/password procedures.

and regularly uploaded to the EMIS distribution server. From there the
contents is distributed automatically to the worldwide EMIS mirror system.
