Let us see with the hosting institution what is possible to do. And I think
that this go beyond the AfREN list only. Institutions represented in our
community may find Chisimba an excellent tool for communication and sharing.
I strongly recommend to test it.

As Aminu did, I would also suggest that everyone who can, join the effort
being done by the AVOIR network. It's a exemplary collaborative action that
has produced an excellent tool. There is still a lot to do, and there is
place for everybody (coding, debugging, localisation, documentation, etc.).
See http://avoir.uwc.ac.za for more details.
