Or YAML (http://www.yaml.de/en/home.html) or 960(http://960.gs/ ). I believe
the former is better documented.

There are plenty, actually - when it comes to well-documented, I'd 
nominate this:


http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/

There's a nice grid builder too, though not my cup of tea:

But Yaml's name sure is confusing - I knew only one - http://www.yaml.org/

Re: [Ilugc] OT: Fwd: Bridging the gap between rural india and wikipedia

[Sarad AV]

hai,

I have a few questions, whats the model based on. who is going to put in money? 
how are you going to convince villagers and NGO's to contribute?

what is the unique knowledge that villages possess that is absent in towns and 
cities?

there are other practical problems of Rural india - Frequent power supply
failures, 'fear' amongst rural india's peoples to use computers, etc., So
obviously, doing it through a computer with internet connection is out of
question here.<

i think that you are not addressing the broader problem here. what should be 
done is to bring internet to the village with the help of NGO's and provide a 
setup for self sustainability through rural BPO's and provide other services 
including health and education. maybe, then they will think of contributing to 
wiki.

Subject: Bridging the gap between rural india and wikipedia
To: i...@wikimedia.org


Hi,

I'm looking for helping rural india using Wikipedia and helping enrich
wikipedia using rural india's unique knowledge that is typically not part of
Wikipedia because the current contributors to wikipedia are from urban parts
of India.

There is no denying, Wikipedia is probably the single most useful asset of
all of humanity's knowledge on the Internet. But there are limiting factors
for accessing and contributing to Wikipedia:
1. Internet connection
2. Computer Literacy

I strongly believe, its worth my life in enabling rural india to
1. Benefit from the knowledge available on Wikipedia
2. Contribute to Wikipedia and enrich it with rural india's knowledge
3. Extend this to allow global rural societies from across the world to
share knowledge

Ideally, we would have a computer kiosk where people can access wikipedia.
But besides Internet connection and Computer Literacy being limiting factors
there are other practical problems of Rural india - Frequent power supply
failures, 'fear' amongst rural india's peoples to use computers, etc., So
obviously, doing it through a computer with internet connection is out of
question here.

*Solution*
Imagine a book lending library: There is one computer which relies on an
average internet connection and doesn't really depend on being continuously
powered. There is an NGO worker in this library. To start with, this library
keeps locally translated printed versions of what-would-be-useful topics
from Wikipedia. Locals are free to enter this library, use the books (maybe
borrow the books too if they are members) and even make photocopies for a
nominal cost. To adhere to the spirit of wikipedia, they are also allowed to
write new physical paper books in the local language and hand it over to the
librarian (NGO worker) OR make corrections to existing books OR even just
sit with the librarian in contributing to wikipedia. Content will be
published using wikipedia guidelines. Most importantly changes go back to
wikipedia web. The library 'learns' what is locally relevant and prints
those topics as book. This is what this project is all about.

*Software*
One of the core things that will power this library is a software. Its a
software that need not be run continuously nor does it need to be connected
to the internet all the time. Its a simple client application that sends
some logs / data to a central server and gets a list of 'eBooks' in return
from the server. The idea is to print these eBooks and store at this
library.

The data being sent would be
1. The list of topics that are in demand (both available, lent books as well
as topics that people came looking for but couldn't find in the library)
weighted by the number of times each topic was referred to.
2. Available paper / money.

The central server in turn returns a type-set, indexed set of e-books that
this library can now print and keep. Printing will be done locally by the
library using local resources (use a printer if there is one donated, find a
local printer who can print this, or maybe if the local govt is willing to
help, use their resources - in short, use the best local means of doing it).
Infact, if the central server knows of several libraries nearby, then help
print in bulk and provide information on where to collect the books meant
for this library. Implementation can be worked out - but I hope you get the
idea: *Centralised decision making and resource planning; Distributed
information disbursement and collection*.

*Library as a communication platform*
The library can also be

 In our Application, we use https for sure payment.

Through Apache proxy i am redirecting the http request but while coming to

Wow, hearing something similar to what I have been with (through my 
employer) for the past 2 years :) We operate Rural Telcenters, or 
Technology Enabled Rural Kiosks, all over Karnataka and few other 
states. From our experience what we have learnt is rather than taking 
technology to rural people, taking benefits of technology to them is 
more beneficial and meaningful.  For example, they  do not ideally want 
a computer and internet to go and book tickets, all they want is a place 
where they can utilize such a facility. They do not want a computer and 
internet to pay their utility bills. They want a place with such a 
facility that they can easily pay their bills in their own villages.


Although the idea of Wiki-enabled Kiosk sounds interesting, we also need 
to count the literacy level of the villagers to use such a facility. How 
will they go and find an information they want? Do they know to type the 
keyword to get their information? While providing a reliable internet 
connection over rural India still remains a challenge, the further 
challenge is maintaining these so called kiosks. The main problem is 
high frequency of power outages and management of resources.


To mention some similar endeavors, check out Nemmadi project by GoK and 
RBCs operated by Comat in Karnataka and by OneRoof in certain parts of TN.

If you do not want the trouble of installing in your server etc then try
Zoho or Google apps
very  functional and the standard versions are free.

Close KMail and all other apps in your desktop session, log **off** your 
desktop session and log back in again.  For me, this trick has usually 
got rid of the annoyance; the KMail pop ups go away.

For you, if does not, then file a  bug report against KMail.  
Alternately, request your service provider to get a cert. from a CA 
rather than self signed ones.
