Greetings to all, Thank you Peter Ellis for your reaction. One may not share the World Bank overall corporate strategy, but at least should recognize the tremendous progress made by the WB group so far to disseminate information and to share knowledge. Unfortunately or fortunately I have not seen or have not paid attention to such statement, but, though I do respect other's personal views and assessment, I am far from agreeing with this perhaps too much personal judgment.
For researchers working in developing countries, the WB site and the miscellaneous links that are provided, (<http://www.developmentgateway.org/>, <http://www.worldbank.org/poverty/>, <http://www.infoDev.org> to mention a few) stand for an invaluable knowledge resource center, provided that those researchers have internet- connection facilities; but this is an other issue. Currently doing research in ICT and poverty alleviation in Sub Saharan Africa, I must say that the WB site is among the sites I most visit and the information I am harnessing from it is very much helpful.
