1. Purpose

Kidlink encourages translations of Kidlink's Web pages, and development of local Kidlink-related material.

Such material may be first developed to be posted on local servers, but they must then be mirrored to www.kidlink.org subject to the guidelines below.

Local servers are encouraged to carry mirrors of www.kidlink.org subject to these guidelines.
Note: Mirrors must be copied directly from www.kidlink.org. It is not permitted to mirror from other hosts mirroring www.kidlink.org.

3. Local development and storage of Kidlink Web pages

Authorized Kidlink Web pages may be developed and posted on a local Web server.

Authorization procedure

Authorization is given by KWebmaster based on a written description of the LWeb development plan. This description must contain:

• An overview of the planned pages with a detailed description of the pages' interface (links) with other non-Kidlink pages on the same server.
• Name of the local contact person with email address. This will be KWebmaster's key local contact in connection with locally developed Kidlink material.
• Name of the local person(s) responsible for maintaining the local language versions of the web pages that must be translated as specified in Kidlink's Web Strategy document.
• The FTP address, including password and user name, that KWeb staff can use to mirror LWeb to KWeb.

Assumptions

• Web pages are designed in such a way that mirroring is easy using Kidlink's standard mirroring procedure. All locally produced pages must be in one directory with subdirectories, and subdirectories must only contain Kidlink material.
• Contents and translations must be created in accordance with Kidlink's electronic publishing strategy. LWebmaster agrees to translate the required minimum and either translate or refer in full to the 'General Kidlink Information' files found in: http://www.kidlink.org/english/general/dirinfo.html.
• LWebmaster agrees to have one identifiable person that is responsible for maintaining important Kidlink information pages. This person must be in place before distribution of Web based information about Kidlink can start.
• ALL Web pages must be dated so that visitors can see when the page was created/updated.
• Advertisements (including banners) or outside links on locally developed Kidlink pages require the approval of Kidlink's Project Director.
• LWebmaster agrees to insert any requested advertising banners in recognition of sponsor support. Such requests may only come from KWebmaster or Kidlink's Project Director.
  Note: If banners of this type are prohibited by local norms, bylaws, or regulations as stated by the local Internet provider, then this obligation is void. In such a case, LWebmaster and KWebmaster will work out a solution that accommodates the needs of both parties.
• KWebmaster maintains a contents quality assurance organization . This organization will periodically check locally developed material for correctness by searching/using the mirrored directories on KWeb.
• LWebmaster agrees to quickly update material identified as being out of date.
• KWebmaster is responsible for mirroring locally developed files to KWeb. LWebmaster is responsible for mirroring agreed directories to the local server. Kidlink encourages a full mirror of KWeb (excluding the pages developed locally, and already existing on LWeb).
• KWebmaster maintains a Web page with a list of authorized mirror sites.

5. Unauthorized Kidlink Web pages

The term 'unauthorized Kidlink Web pages' refers to:

• locally developed Web pages containing Kidlink information that have not been approved by KWebmaster;
• partial or full mirror copies of www.kidlink.org that have not been approved by KWebmaster.

Unauthorized Kidlink Web pages are not permitted to use the Kidlink logo on any pages, unless they have permission in writing from Kidlink's Project Director.
