what one gets is ideas. execution is a different story all together. that is where the money comes in. alternatively, may be we can charge corporate clients, but what would happen if we charged hobbyists? On 14/09/2009, Areba Collins <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:
@ aki, good idea, wrong model. I think the onus should be on moderators of this list to come up with a creative business model around the activities of the list and make money. Ideas and options are many, you just need to open your eyes. Charging for responses would be akin to google charging for search results, i doubt they would have been as successful.

Hi Aki,
I disagree. In my opinion, this forum is for sharing ideas. There are those that need to be mentored too.

Many times we openly share info and/or solutions that would normally costs thousands of Kshs in consultancy costs. There are many of us on this list who belong to this category and even go the extra mile for others to help out, virtually. I think a proposal forward would be to have some sort of consultancy services available via email, else we are selling the ICT sector for free without any benefits of years or experience/knowledge. In anycase, if anyone is stuck, they can always google or bing for results.
Just sharing a thought, I hope others have also been thinking about such.
Do you think this would defeat the idea of the lists or will it make others lives better?
Rgds.
