Why not create 1 website with 132 separate wiki pages, hosted locally and each district can log-in to there bit. Have the government handle all the domain registrations, I guess Charles would give them a good deal if they bulk bought, and hire ICT Interns (pay less) and have them ring up and annoy all the districts into getting accurate information and updating on the website. Otherwise make it a condition of them getting paid. No info, no salary.
Done.

Kyle, I beg to be corrected... what are websites for? Info on Wikipedia is not necessarily true unless backed by a source. And who to have closer-to-accurate info than the locals?! There was a story (in my younger days) about a mapped all-weather road somewhere in the semi-rurals of this Pearl when there was not even a single foot-path. The place was actually forested. And eitherway, I see nothing wrong with creating a jobs for real people who are so many graduating in ICT fields through this. # Edz On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 3:20 PM, [email protected] < [email protected] > wrote: Again, Wikipedia needs information which can be verified in published sources. You can't just stick anything in there, even if it happens to be true. Also, district web pages should fall under national infrastructure, which ought to be funded by the government, right? Even if not, surely ten dozen districts could pitch in for the cost of *one* domain with *one* web hosting package? Kyle Spencer < [email protected] > wrote: Why do we need to spend money on this?

However, someone or some organization has to set standards on what information must be on each district website / portal eg schools, health centres, road network et la and relevant contacts at each where necessary. So often most of them spring up and fade off fast mostly because the information is never updated. Why sell me that-overly-eating-animal when I can't afford a meal?! As a way forward, IMHO, one of our dear local ICT companies can entice a deal to UCC or the concerned to manage the district portals with relevant information (for obviously a particular period of time). I know there might be sayings of "no funds planned". The enticer could offer the service for free of charge for a year with documentation to pay for a number of agreeable years from the next financial / fiscal year. # Edz On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 2:37 PM, Ancel Bwire < [email protected] > wrote: http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/635731-districts-don-t-have-websites.html -- *ANCEL OCHINO BWIRE MARKETING MANAGER THE DEVELOPMENT ANALYST* _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list 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).
