New website on Kalimantan

New website on Kalimantan

YOGYAKARTA (JP): Those who are interested in learning more
about Kalimantan can now visit www.kalteng.net to obtain detailed
information on the island.

The new website was launched in a ceremony at Century
International Hotel in Yogyakarta last Friday.

Central Kalimantan Deputy Governor Nahfon Taway led the
ceremony which was attended by hundreds of students from
Kalimantan who are studying in Yogyakarta, public figures from
Kalimantan living in Yogyakarta and dozens of journalists.

The coordinator of the Kalimantan Center of Information
Network (JARI PUSAKA), Wawan Wiraatmaja, told The Jakarta Post
the new website aimed to be an important source of information on
Kalimantan, especially Central Kalimantan.

"The website is run from Yogyakarta, where most of its editors
are studying here," said Wawan, a student of Gadjah Mada
University's School of Engineering.

"We also have many correspondents in Kalimantan and other
cities in Indonesia who provide us with the latest reports on
Kalimantan," he added.

Asked about the amount of money invested in the website, Wawan
said: "Don't ask about the money. It's very small compared to
most websites in Indonesia." (23)
