Dear Dr. Wong and Dspacers:

I am on the same track with our group hosted at MIT's Sloan School of  
Management.
I cannot claim to represent MIT or Sloan, but represent our STS-Sustainable  
Development
forum and working group.  It is based in a Free and Open Source  Software 
(FOSS) called
Dot Learn or Dot LRN (.lrn)  An international consortium of  Universities has 
formed to 
further develop the tools for .lrn.  Al Essa is the Chief Information  
Officer at Sloan who did
invite me and my group to use that site and tools.  We have a Virtual  
Library for links to
pdf files, Word files, URL sites (Information).  It has a bulk email  tool 
with selective email
too (Communication) so for a good ICT technology, this is among the best  
available.

We plan to use it in communities that we are going to work in.  One  area of 
interest is
the Terai Arc in Nepal and India where their common boarder is.   We have 
equipment 
that can heat water that kills bacteria that is killing 6,000 children  under 
the age of five
years old everyday around the world.  The simple heating of the  water, the 
hotter the
faster will do the job.  The technology also is rated for low pressure  steam 
by which a
distilled water can be made.  Distilled water is 99.99% element  free.  
Arsenic is an
element so is lead, mercury, etc.  I plan to do a microfinance to the  
communities for
systems, regional assembly and water supply for drinking and growing trees  in
nurseries.  The women who provide much of the work force will have  children 
in day care
with educational delivery and a night school for them.  The United  Nations 
has the eight
Millennium Development Goals (MDG) which we address each and every one with  
the focus on water.  Basic Education is another MDG, carbon sequestration,  
etc.

Linking to Dspace like archives such as _http://nsdl.org_ (http://nsdl.org)  
are planned . Are you interested  in this?  If so I can give you a password to 
enter STS (Sloan Technical  Service) Sustainable Development and join the 
fifty or so professionals from  around the world who are interested in the 
topics. _http://sloanspace.mit.edu_ (http://sloanspace.mit.edu)

Dear colleagues,

We are looking for a research partner to  collaborate in submitting a
research proposal to EPSRC (Engineering and  Physical Sciences Research
Council, UK) by 29/6/05. The aim of this  proposal is to develop a
Knowledge Management System (KM) that consists of  an interactive
web-based e-Learning platform and digital repository for  small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) construction. 

We would  like to have a research partner who can develop a digital
repository to  accommodate the construction SMEs needs. The proposed
digital repository  should able to accept e-Learning, knowledge transfer
and capacity contents,  including: text; image, audio and video (e.g.
articles, reports, visual  simulations and models, organisational data
sets, and computer programmes).  

If you find this topic interesting and relevant to your area, or  someone
you know they may be interested please feel free to redirect  this
message. 

Thanks for you time. 

Regards,

Dr   Andy Wong
Napier University
