Martin,
This is innovative, indeed. However, I always feel a little jittery
when such an idea is conceived but never given birth to. Methinks, if
you have the capTalk about tying the bell, first.
My little thoughts.

True @ Solomon Mburu !!!

I've come to know too that in skunks, ideas are always conceived but never birthed!
For instance whatever happened to the 'skunks-effort' Kenyan payment gateway???

Guess I got to agree with an ideology (or a real fact now)that most Africans(here Kenyans) might not manage to contribute to open source simply because most of them have not yet fully acquired Financial Freedom.Most of our work is geared towards earning a good living rather than research and fulfillment. So unless this state and mind set is changed, there might be little or no developments coming from this list.

Please prove me wrong by working and finalizing on at least one brilliant development idea that has been raised in the list.

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all
the same way to the side of a hill!

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
