The Internet is an emergent phenomenon date back to 1970s when the US military was looking for ways to improve communications network.   The enormous potential of resource sharing was demonstrated in Internet.  By far the best examples of collaborative software are the GNU project and the development of Linux.  Many  free software outdid its commercial competitors in almost every aspect.  How was this possible? The answer is simply weight of numbers.  A large software company might be able to put a hundred programmers to work on a major piece of software.  However, this is nothing compared to the force of thousands of enthusiastic hackers scattered over the Internet all vying to outdo one another to improve a piece of code.  This activity can create new resources where the whole is quite literally more than the sum of its parts. 
 

In this year, we are towards the completion of the IT pilot project. Much of the work this year would still be on the integration of Unix and Windows NT. It's our goal to replace the proprietary solutions by open solutions. Besides, we have fast network and powerful workstations for non-linear video editing.One of the mission would be on how to make maximum use of those powerful machines. In October, we released the beta version of the Wah Yan Portal site my.wyk.
