Another case of a council "sticky plaster" fix to a housing scheme which was flawed from the beginning. DCC are wasting money increasing access into the town centre which is dying on its feet. Will the residents who live in these houses really want to walk into the town centre when they can more easily get into their cars and go out of town? DCC should be more focused on getting rid of the farce which is Festival Walk, bring back a proper high street, stop giving trading licenses to fast food and beauty outlets and spend the money which these access routes are costing the taxpayer on attracting good quality retail business with low rates and incentives to set up shop in the town. <a href=http://www.coachoutletstores.net.co/>Coach Factory</a> Discover Wisconsin Travel Pavilion

'''''Find a good shepherd. Follow the black Sheep.'''''
 +
 
 +
Follow the Sheep project involves following shepherds and their (mostly black) sheep,
 +
in the Deccan areas of Karnataka and Andra Pradesh. Shepherds are non-literate in general. And
 +
the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They
 +
are in small groups of 3-8 family members. Every few days they migrate to another location that
 +
can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated
 +
a trade for feed in return to the sheep manure (night droppings). During the day they can graze
 +
part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often
 +
common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body. Most shepherds have mobile
 +
phones and horses or donkeys (and camels as we go north). They use these phones, when there is
 +
signal, to talk to people back home, and sometimes to coordinate shepherding activity.
 +
 
 +
The goals of the project

Ongoing Janastu activities that are of potential interest to DEV'13

This page is an elaboration of the poster at http://janastu.org/dev2013.pdf

Alipi - Re-narration Web.

Over 10% of India (120 million) have accessed Internet by December 2011 where 90% of these 10% are from urban areas [iamai]. Mobile penetration, however, has reached 900 million Indians in 10 years. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices in remote areas [iamai] and the smart phones becoming affordable [aakash], Internet access by rural agricultural and pastoral nomads is becoming a reality. While Internet accessibility groups have developed authoring guidelines and standards for "disabled" Internet users, they do assume that such a user is a (considerably) literate person. What would it be to provision Internet accessibility to non-literates?

We explore re-narration as a basis for ”designing Internet for inclusion.” In the renarration model, any web page or even an element of it can be /re-narrated/, to make it accessible to a target audience of users in a completely decentralized way. The notion of re-narration is completely general. It could, for example, mean translating a page automatically to another language. Or it could mean creating a more accessible version of a technical document, even if it is in the same language by an expert for a layperson.

   See the dev2013.org program re-narrated to some Indian language contexts. 

Or see http://mitan.in/bcp/raika. More examples at Alipi

Technically, Re-narration Web is effectively a social semantic web. The "alipi.us" (the non-literate us) can be seen as a third party service that is served by collecting the "narration" type semantic tweets on the Web. Such "tweets" are a result of someone re-narrating some content for a specific community context.
