I would like to propose creation of bit.tech.africana as global
gateway for the listserve mailing list

AFRICANA@wmvm1.cc.wm.edu

A discussion has been held to solicit the feedback of the list's
subscribers and the listowner has given his approval for the
establishment of this gateway.

Thanks for your attention.

<a short description of the list follows>

AFRICANA on LISTSERV@WMVM1 - Information Technology and Africa
         or LISTSERV@wmvm1.cc.wm.edu

   The purpose of AFRICANA LISTSERV is to provide an electronic
forum for sharing and exchanging information on the various
activities going on in the field of information technology in
Africa. Interested parties are invited to post notices, questions,
ideas and pertinent information on WHO is Doing WHAT, WHERE, HOW
WHEN and even WHY anywhere on the continent of Africa.

   We are interested in learning about successful, interactive
linkages with institutions on the African continent.  Tell us
about your successes and failures, hardware, software, problems,
solutions, on-going collaborative projects, policy and logistical
issues, impending plans and so forth.  Tell us about all
applicable communication technologies that make it possible today
for residents in Africa to interact with others around the world
quickly.

   One particularly vexing problem we are faced with is how to
develop a viable infrastructure for accessing the new information
technologies in African business and learning institutions.  Some
of you out there have or have had exciting experiences in linking
parts of Africa with the global network.  Let us hear from you!

   Archives are stored in the AFRICANA FILELIST. To receive a list
of available files, send the command INDEX AFRICANA to
LISTSERV@WMVM1 or LISTSERV@wmvm1.cc.wm.edu.

   To subscribe to AFRICANA, send the following command to
LISTSERV@WMVM1 or LISTSERV@wmvm1.cc.wm.edu via mail text or
interactive message: SUBSCRIBE AFRICANA firstname lastname For
example,   SUBSCRIBE AFRICANA Joan Doe
