Body

Caroline Castonguay-Boisvert is presently building up the POMEDOR website, in the framework of her internship in computer sciences (DUT informatique) at the University of Lyon. She is hosted by the "Laboratoire de Céramologie" (CNRS UMR 5138) and the "Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée" (CNRS USR 3439) of Lyon.

The site is conceived both as a traditional website and as a collaborative platform for members of the POMEDOR network. Issues in various aspects of food and foodways in the medieval Eastern Mediterranean may be discussed in the Members / forum section, and groups working on specific subjects may exchange and share documents in the Members / group section.

Her internship was co-supervised by Bruno Morandière and Wei Huangfen, of the "Pôle systèmes d'informations et réseaux" of the Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée, and by Yona Waksman.
