Ricardo, I'm very glad to learn of your vision. Yes, I would like to work with you to implement it. I lead the Minciu Sodas laboratory for independent thinkers. We have quite a lot of activity among rural Africa's literate adults. We have a real need for solutions that would let them participate offline and not have to pay as much as they do for the marginal Internet access they have. I am pursuing four (and more) related proposals, one for related software, one for related hardware, one for assembling computers, and one for rolling out local wi-fi networks (even if they aren't connected to the global Internet). We have the teams on-the-ground to pursue your ideas. We can work some for free, and we need ideas for finding funders, clients or partners. See also the MacArthur Foundation and HASTAC Innovation Awards. AndriusKulikauskas 10:26, 17 August 2007 (EDT) ms@ms.lt
