We could talk about this with the GNOME Foundation's board, they have interest in pushing GNOME in developing countries. But the most they could do (AFAIK) is motivating contributors to give some attention to the issues we care about, but not more. If anybody wants to take ownership of this area, I can give contacts and introduce them to the board.
