'''''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

 +

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.
