The web site, www.NE183.org, was maintained by Win Cowgill, NJAES and Jon Clements, UMASS. Articles, photographs and reports will continue to be archived at this site. The meeting minutes and annual report are available on the website. The members only section contains state reports and a member database. In 2002, the NE-183 website logged over 10,000 unique visits from 57 countries. Popular pages included the ‘home’ page, cultivar descriptions, and the annual meeting minutes. Common search terms used to find the NE-183 included “apple”, “cultivar(s)”, and “fruit”. Requirements for web page design for regional projects are being met as outlined by the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) and the North Central Regional Association of Agricultural Experiment Station Directors (NCRA).
