 The world IT Forum (witfor.org) is a global organization
 with focus on
 information technologies and development and is sponsored
 by IFIP and some
 UN bodies including UNESCO..
 
 It has a conference every two years in a new country and
 the past few have
 been in Lithuania, Botswana, Ethiopia and the next one will
 be held in
 Hanoi, Vietnam in late August.
 
 I chair its Economic Opportunities Commission and am
 looking for a couple of
 commission members and I would think this forum is the
 right place to reach
 out to those interested in it.
 
 If interested, please do write to me on s...@vsnl.com or
 call me on +1 301
 841 7422.
 
 Thanks and regards

Hi All

I agree with Nasira:

 Discussions here are worth, we need a moderator, and to  divide workload for 
 the moderator  we may have three  four moderator who may coordinate amongst 
 themselves and respond.

Of course, it might be possible to let the back end of the hosting
program take care of tech issues like huge attachments, vicious code
etc., as Rene G. Abad suggested:.

 hi all

 first of all a happy new year to everyone

 hope 2009 gives us a good ddn

 why not just unmoderate the group

 and let members just delete what they don't want

 and let google do the backend job for us

 regards to everyone

But there is more to the correct use of this list than just tech
issues in the FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the DIGITALDIVIDE
Discussion Group elaborated by Andy Carvin
http://www.digitaldivide.net/articles/view.php?ArticleID=54. See the
parts about trimming messages and about copyrighted materials, for
instance.

Also, about Rene's change of subject line to why not googlegroups -
and with apologies for repeating myself - there is a monoculture
problem with choosing Google groups. Nowadays, choosing Google groups
would be the same as if the Digital Divide Network had chosen MSN
groups as a host when it started.

This is why I expressed interest for Steven Cliff's
http://forums.e-democracy.org/ proposal in a former message.

Re: [DDN] in search of volunteer moderators (was The future of DDN)

2009-01-02 Thread Daniel O. Escasa
Sabi ni Andy noong Fri, 2 Jan 2009 05:46:31 -0800 (PST):
 Why not just have ddn activities in multiple places? There's no reason
 why this has to be an either-or discussion. In an ideal world, DDN would
 be via email, on Moodle, have a wiki, be on Facebook, Twitter,
 Friendfeed, YouTube, etc...

Interesting idea. I know that at least Twitter and YouTube are
mashable although offhand I can't think of how this would work. Maybe
someone with a clearer mind (Christmas holiday hangover g) can cook
something up.
