Our OPN-Network is run with a OPN multicore installation. This means that with only one installation feeds serveral websites. Base for the website you see here is the trunk version of OPN. With a special trunk service this installation is keeping updated once every hour, so you find here always the latest release of OPN.

The theme of this page validates according to DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional Standards and should also fulfill nearly all requirements of WCAG .
