And here are my initial ideas to that...
That is wonderfull news, I think there is a lot to do, here is a small list that I can think off. I hope others can contribute as well: - Translate. There is a *lot* to translate, here is the shortlist: - Firefox. James Wire has a set of files for Netscape, and these could be the basis for a nice Luganda Firefox. (off course, the other 51 ugandan languages are just as important) - Joomla. The most popular CMS around - Big task? OpenOffice, or even a linux version. If translating is not difficult enough, there currently is no web-based translation tool for Firefox. There is an old project around, but i think it is defunct. If the aim is to translate FF to 52 languages (and TB) then reviving this tool might be a nice idea. Bookkeeping. - There are a few very nice bookkeeping packages outthere. They come with the Book of Accounts for wherever they have been written + the USA. Defining the standard Book of Accounts for Uganda (Requirements Capturing!) and then adding this BOA to say, FrontAccounting, CompBiz, TinyERP etc would be really helpfull. Update OpenKiosk - There are a gazilllion Internet Cafe's in Afrika & Uganda, and there is no smooth Internet Cafe Software package around. OpenKiosk is very promising, but it needs some work done. If you crack this, fame will be your reward! (If there is someone who can mentor this, i have no clue how to develop on linux, i never got further than make & make install) Who else? reinier _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
