## Products

Each student will come up with two proposals for Web sites, each designed to serve as a resource for the transfer of knowledge and future planning in the Mill Creek and Brightwood/Northend neighborhoods, respectively. In the last month of the semester, each student will collaborate on the implementation of one of these proposals.

For further background on the project, see the WPLP Web site. The WPLP Web site has received millions of hits since it first went online in Spring of 1996.
