Using tools aimed at promoting the reuse of existing components costs the user in the time and effort needed to install and understand the tool. These costs could counteract or subsume the benefits of reuse argued for by reuse practitioners, rendering the activity worthless. One approach to reducing these costs is to deploy the tools in an environment that the user is already familiar with, and has easy access to. We have chosen the web as just such an environment, and this choice can have a significant impact on the usability and utility of the tool. This paper discusses the difficulties that arise from our use of the web, and the manner in which we have partly overcome these difficulties.
