Mr. Hydara:

I join in support of an independent list server group separate from any present list server group.  I suggest that Gambia L management, with input from Gambia L subscribers create an independent server group. 

Every present and future members of Gambia L should pay a minimum fee to join this group.  This in my view, may avoid future problems with any list server group that is owned by a specific group or person.

Naphiyo,
Jassey-Conteh

Hi Fellows,

I know for certain that we all have much to commend the pioneers of this
list server that is making us to interact costlessly on event happening
back home in the Gambia.So Bravo to all the List Management and
contributors.

In my opinion as the providers are disconnecting GambiaL from the server,
it will be idea for us Gambia to take a cost and provide a mail server that
could independently stay for the rest of our willing. Or as the proposition
to link with www.freegambia.com will be a great idea but in that I felt
there need to be a modification of the site to include other services.

Defiantely if Gambians can interact by using St.Johns University to host
this list for

um for years, we need to strategies issues to independantly
operate our own list server or by subscription to other providers.

Again it will be much better if we can have a site that can also allow
Gambians to chat online from the same server we are for the forum.Forum
board are wonderful but directly chating with fellow subscribers online
will be quite enhancing and will be useful to Gambians in many ways as
follows to my opinion.

1 Actual contacts and corresponding of opionion to acertain current
information happening home and abroad.

2. To seek for relaible contacts to address personal matters  and other
issues without using calling card.

3. Provide opportunities for those seeking relationship with Gambian abroad.

4.It will help students to interact with others beyond Gambia to set a
foundation of exchange and alot of stuffs.

5.Organization can seek from Gambian good will ambassadors to help

or
contribute morally and financial towards their efforts.

6.Promoting the art products of Gambians and music as well.

Providing an access for Gambian to fully harmonize IT previllages can be
more successful if GambiaL take the lead and now is the best time as from
February we shall no more use St.John's server for daily posting.So where
ever we are to hook up for service, lets go in for a modern service that
has lot of opportunities.

For the already a couple of people have who offered to host GambiaL like
Amadou Kabir Njie and Abdoulie Jallow (BambaLaye).This is wonderful and as
few core values mentioned in previous mail is important as well.But my
concern is providing a chat window will help us more to interact. I know is
we stand on a proposition to use Yahoo group, our changes to chat may occur
but knowing the presence of someone is narrow.So lets see what is best.

Other may have an idea as ho

w GambiaL can be modify to meet the recent
technology prospects. This can be a center of discussion as is important
for all of us then other issues that we are concentrating.

We all have a word to explore and find out the ideal site that GambiaL can
be connected to.

Malang and other folks will be much greatful to hear from us all.
