Rabah, please don't.  As soon as you set up a warranting system for 
electronic chroniclers, you open the door for some group to think 
they're in danger of being forcibly dissolved two years down the road 
because they don't have a canton web page.  There's too much 
Bureaucrappy already - please don't try to make web activities 
"official".

I presume your motivation is to be helpful to people looking for
information.  May I suggest it would be more helpful to put up a
page of suggestions and guidelines for page design, rather than try
to keep track of who is doing what.  There are a lot of web pages
that have their content lost in fancy formatting and graphics...
(Unlike the Acorn pages, BTW, which are quite nicely done.)

One of the guidelines might be 
  *include the text string "Kingdom of Atlantia" somewhere on the page

And then you can put a link on *your* pages to a search of, say, 
alta-vista, looking for the string "Kingdom of Atlantia".  Poof, a 
no-maintenance-needed list of all the web pages in the kingdom.  If 
you need help figuring out how to put that kind of a link into your 
page, contact me directly.
