Where are the ICT weblogs?
The riptari filter asks: Where are the ICT Web Logs?
I feel obliged to answer.
Have a look at GeekHalla which is the unofficial site of for GeekCorps volunteers.
The Rwanda section has the diary of David Smith, who was recently there for 6 weeks working on a programming gig, I think.
Also the Ghana section is interesting, because it hides within its jaws 5 distinct sites, from 5 groups of geeks that were in Ghana since mid-2000.
Group 1
Group 2 (ME!)
Group 3
Group 4
Group 5 (Latest)
Oh, and of course, pretty soon, I'm sure Group 6 will start their journals.
And this list wouldn't be complete without my personal blogs from Armenia and Ghana (although the ghana entries are identical to what I wrote at geekhalla above.
But there's a point here isn't there. I mean there are loads of good travel-log sites, but no real volunteer-log sites. It might be worth putting up a site where any volunteer could write a web-log (ICT projects only?) and maybe even let different org's have customized templates for their volunteers?
If I knew 4 or 5 orgs that would be interested, I might even do it myself. So let me know if you hear of any.
