The site was subsequently featured in the International Herald Tribune , was reported on by The Irish Times and The Irish Independent and received excellent reviews in specialist PC magazines PC Live and Web Ireland . The DWW has continued to further expand the site. In June 1998 it began a collaboration with Haiku Spirit , Ireland's premier haiku journal. The DWW website now hosts the online version of Haiku Spirit as well as many other pages related to haiku and haibun. There is also a thriving discussion list where site visitors post their work and receive feedback from other participants.
Additional features continue to be added to the site.
In November 1998 the DWW launched a threaded discussion group and discussion forum for site visitors. This has proved highly popular, with many debates on Irish literature, and standards in world literature generally, ensuing. The DWW has also set up a virtual creative writing workshop , with members posting their own work and getting feedback from others. DWW members moderate this workshop. The site is offering an important platform to Irish talent in an international arena.
