# Amsterdam Web Communities System
|
|
|
|
## Why "Amsterdam"?
|
|
|
|
The first implementation of this concept was in Durand Communications' CommunityWare software, which was code-named "Rome" when it
|
|
was in development. Rome was a center of community in the andient world.
|
|
|
|
The second implementation was the Java code I wrote to rescue Electric Minds; I named it "Venice," which was a center of community
|
|
during the Renaissance.
|
|
|
|
This new implementation is named "Amsterdam," which was a center of community during the Age of Exploration, in particular, the
|
|
Dutch Golden Age.
