November Progress Report

Nice job on the wiki Andrew. I also changed the background to the wiki let me know if you like the new one or the old one better.

I also went ahead and did the rest of the grant proposal so it is ready to be submitted to the Rockefeller Foundations.

So as of now I think we have completed all of our objectives for the Voices of Africa Project.

Myspace: Completed

Facebook: Completed
we also have 50 members in our VOA group, many of whom have shown interest in becoming involved in the project.

Wiki: Completed

Lurcy Grant: Completed and denied funds

Rockefeller Grant: Completed

Swahili resources: completed and posted on the websites.

In conclusion, working on the Voices of Africa project has been a very educational experience and has given us a lot of insight into the process of funding and building an ICT project.

Wiki

Hey group,

I just made some changes to the wiki and I think it is pretty much finished. Take a look at the wiki when you get a chance and see what you think.

Group Meeting for the week

This past Wednesday we were finally able to get our group all together and meet with Crystal. I think everyone can agree that the meeting was greatly beneficial and was able to communicate many problems that may have previously been troubling. We currently feel very well prepared for rapping up the work for the project. Our facebook group currently has 47 members and appears to be growing day by day. The wiki is coming along quite nicely and the group is beginning work on a second grant proposal with the Rockefeller Foundation!

The group got together on Friday 11/2 to draft an updated progress report. From the meeting we were able to narrow down our focus for the remainder of the semester to working on the wiki.
