Making Pacific Island Culture Mainstream


Slight twist with plans: Fiji Web Design is custom developing a product that will power "The Kokonut Rootz Project" based on Search Engine technology. The soon to be released component is called "NewsNuke."

NewsNuke is being prototyped on the website fijicoup.org but more details on the component will soon be published by FWD. Basically, the component makes all specific media centralised and indexed. It captures all information accessible via the world wide web for Pacific media and broadcasts them according to specific categories. All content will be administered through the Joomla CMS backend and it can be sorted according to relevance, time and other criterias. 

The underlying principle is all island media should be mainstream because it exemplifies and strengthens the survival of indigenous understanding in a metropolitan/western society. As long as the diaspora and the coming generations can have access to the digital imprint of our cultures on the world wide web, we will be able to preserve the heritage and understanding of our traditional customs.

Our portal will also be an avenue to recognize the people who are putting the name of the Pacific Islands on the map in their respective industries. As it is it is we're slowly but surely coming together and we have plans to handover the site to the administrators of Pacific Culture and South Pacific. Visit their pages to follow the same tenets that we believe in.

That's it for now, here is a tune from Aoteoroa by Sons of Zion - Be with You:
