ok, I'm back. Thusly spoke googlegroups : ---- The group you attempted to subscribe to is moderated, and therefore can not be subscribed to by email. To request a subscription to this group, please visit the following page: http://groups.google.com/group/ict-education-india/subscribe?hl=en If you have questions related to this or any other Google group, please visit the Help Center at http://groups.google.com/support?hl=en. ---- So, while google groups itself has no problem with letting people on, the people who run that list seem to have issues[1]. I guess that shows how braindead the ICT setup in the country is to start with, if the people who want to talk about it left $clue behind... I am tempted to signup one mailman account to there, and open up free / open access to that mailman instance. However, does anyone have *any* info on who these people are and what brings them together ? [1]: that page *does* need a signon. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
