- Subject: NEW LIST: AFRICANA Information Technology and Africa
-
- AFRICANA on LISTSERV@WMVM1 - Information Technology and Africa
- or LISTSERV@wmvm1.cc.wm.edu
-
- The purpose of AFRICANA LISTSERV is to provide an electronic forum
- for sharing and exchanging information on the various activities
- going on in the field of information technology in Africa.
- Interested parties are invited to post notices, questions, ideas and
- pertinent information on WHO is Doing WHAT, WHERE, HOW WHEN and even
- WHY anywhere on the continent of Africa.
-
- We are interested in learning about successful, interactive linkages
- with institutions on the African continent. Tell us about your
- successes and failures, hardware, software, problems, solutions,
- on-going collaborative projects, policy and logistical issues,
- impending plans and so forth. Tell us about all applicable
- communication technologies that make it possible today for residents
- in Africa to interact with others around the world quickly.
-
- One particularly vexing problem we are faced with is how to develop a
- viable infrastructure for accessing the new information technologies
- in African business and learning institutions. Some of you out there
- have or have had exciting experiences in linking parts of Africa with
- the global network. Let us hear from you!
-
