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?
