Joao, CCA http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/ is based in Terceira, Viaoceanica is a Terceira Company. Your archive links were developed by a company that uses opensource solutions, I'm sure you can find them quite easily.
This company's work was ordered by http://www.bparpd.azores.gov.pt/ and I believe that interface you say its powerful was discontinued, and upgraded to another platform. That costs money...etc..etc.. I will not continue because this is not what is in question, in my opinion. I'm not into into politics. I'm into genealogy. As Angela said and very well, its taking a long time, and this has been a "well spanked horse" in this group, people don't work for free, and what CCA is offering online is still in progress... I read somewhere in this group someone saying that started genealogy where there wasn't even Internet here, and said what I am trying to say, which is basically this: "Are you studding your family roots? Or are you trying to sell something?" Well, I'm studding my family roots, simply for the love of it! last 2 cents on this one!
