This looks like fun. I have vague ideas on making home videos on "how to 
build a house", "how to fix cars" and how  to find work in Accra for 
village youth leaving rural village homes and subsistence (no money) 
farms. These will be transmitted by CDs in towns that have electricity 
and across the net where there are physical phone lines in rural Ghana. 
I want to be sure to be there.  I hope that this happens at the next 
Linux Mafia installafest, what 9/14/4? These videos will also be 
interactively narrated in Ga, Twi, Hausa, and what ever other languages 
(total 52 in Ghana) that may be spoken in addition to English by skilled 
artisans that we can bring before our camera. This will also benefit 
folks in California who may want coaching either in concrete block house 
construction or in the African languages.
