Interestingly enough, this has a partial IT solution (or at least the mechanisms of IT assist in providing efficient solutions.) Obviously. Which brings me to some other IT news I'd read through the ether.
A disjoint group of Tongan nationals got together over a dysfunctional mailing list in 1995 to discuss navel gazing topics that lead to increased confusion and further dis-information. After a few wild and tangental discussions some trodded back to reality while others continued to pursue the electric dream through branched out web sites, discussion forums.
NoMoa is one of those branched projects, resurrected as a beginnings for codifying precious knowledge on paper. The electronica forum is a wonderful space and we have learned a lot, but in the third world paper is difficult enough to come by let alone electronic dreams. To pass on knowledge, skills and information, NoMoa.com is a group of Nationals who will attempt to codify this stuff in a more accessible print medium.
