The site Peter mentions is a very good example of providing information to a
wider audience.
And I accept David Petts view that if the need and priorities match,
more web publishing will happen.
Both these are good indicators that there is a widening need that is not
being met due to one reason or another.
The issues with images sizes and resolutions can be addressed, by careful
planning, using thumbnails for the initial page, with links to high
resolution images. Thus, if the reader wishes to see the high resolution
image, he/she can just click on it. As a general guide it is worth putting
the file size and estimated download times next to the thumbnail image to
assist the users in deciding if they can wait for it to download.
I'm encouraged that there is more discussion about this subject and that
some Units may well decide to consider web publishing more closely.
