Summary	One of the major challenges faced by the IODE Secretariat has always been to keep the IODE community informed about programme progress both in terms of execution of the IODE Session work plans and in enabling the IODE data and information centre community to share knowledge and expertise. Getting the community to regularly visit the IODE site has always been difficult and this often resulted in missed opportunities. It was therefore felt that a more pro-active and interactive technical solution needed to be found. In addition the IODE secretariat found that it was increasingly being asked to produce new web sites and offer the kinds of ‘community services’ described above. However, the resources required to design, build and maintain many such sites are extensive.
