I have extracted three 'work packages' that might help us move forward. My suggestion is that each of you look at the package to chose the one you feel most like doing, and then we see if they distribute nicely... it is good if we can work with first preferences.
- To make a test web site. This includes finding somewhere to host a site, downloading Drupal, and construct a 'test site', which is just for experimenting.
- To get in touch with the presenters from our IUHPE symposium. The intention here is to follow Kristin's idea and gather information on which means of communication has been most successful. Of course, others than the mentioned presenters may be contacted as well! This work package will also have the task of investigating whether we may get economic support somewhere. What we need the most, is money for the fee of a web domain. It need not be expensive.
- To contact people from areas with poor data accessibility. The goal is to find their opinions on how we can best reach them with info and include them in the network.
So, what do you feel up to doing? Post your preferences as a comment, and we'll see how things work out!

My first preference would be work package 1 - constructing a test site. But I'm flexible!

I could imagine to give package 3 a shot. Do we already have some contact persons in these areas?
Cheers,
Kristin
Yes, I believe there must be some! Calvin de los Reyes will be the network contact in Asia, and he has been doing field work in some remote areas. His email address is cdreyes3@yahoo.com
We also have Pius, an African student in Bergen, our African network contact. He might know some people working in underdeveloped areas - kattandoh@yahoo.com. And there is Kolitha Wickramage from the network, from Australia, but doing extensive work in areas of Sri Lanka without internet communication (Kolitha@unsw.edu.au). Something to begin with!
