Dear Bas,

Is there any chance you could write up a little english-language write up on
this much heralded project?

The following sites description forwarded to me by Marilyn seems of interest
( even though its access seems blocked to me here at the university library
computers )


http://www.nabuur.com

*Nabuur* (IPA: [naːbyr] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA>) is a
website consisting of a number of online communities, or *villages*. It aims
to help in the development<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_development>of
impoverished communities by enabling people from other countries to
help
the community members through Nabuur's website

   - Article on
Nabuur<http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/27/technology/circuits/27aidd.html>from
the New
   York Times <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times>

" Nabuur strives to be an anti-hierarchical, self-organizing, open-source
network whose volunteers help people in the developing world directly, based
on what those people ask of them.

"I'm interested in a new organizational concept," said Nabuur's founder,
Siegfried Woldhek, "where a local community calls the shots" in determining
the advice or assistance they want. "
