Backwaters on the web!
Half the battle remains to be fought and the journey has just begun. Backwaters 2006 is now present on the web at http://www.iimkbackwaters.com.
After much deliberation and many design ideas, trying to relate the imagery to the theme, thinking of words, and finally getting it all together, what we finally accomplished was one mean task. Needless to say, the team working on it was one mean team, as well. With Aditya taking on the concept and design, JC getting in with his ideas, and of course, Naseem, the silent developer from Rubens Media Works getting the implementation right, and above all, the entire IIMK community coming up with ideas and feedback, we were on the right way right from the start.
The theme is all there and the words and layout in place. All that the site needs now is the flash intro that we are working on. I just hope that it comes out as well as the site has. Once this happens, we are ready with the official mailer to launch the site to the world. Online eliminations to the simulation games happening on campus will follow in immediate succession.
There are a few technical things to deal with right now and a lot of testing needs to happen before we send the official mailer out. Compatibility with Mozilla, use of fonts that may not be installed everywhere, verbal re-arrangements are just some of the things that have been hitting us since the morning but I am sure that there will be more.
Waiting for more brickbats than bouquets

great site guys.. m sure that backwaters2006 is going to rock
Great Work guys! One suggestion - you could add some music in a flash intro to the site or a background music (fight club theme?) on the main page, given that many ppl generally skip the flash intro.
