Just finished posting the first draft of a communication guide for telecentre networks on my blog on the telecentre.org website. People who manage distributed teams will also find some good stuff in it. I’ll be developing some of the concepts here, but in a more generic form. Especially the eavesdropping model — a great alternative to the frustrating investigative journalist approach used in so many development projects. I’m excited about seeing how this model will work.
The guide was very hard to write. Kept getting blocked. It’s so much easier to write here. And I noticed that when I moved it from the document to a series of blog posts I felt freer to insert my voice and my ideas flowed better. Maybe I should write blogs first. I also found that I did not like writing for paper (it’s meant to be published in the Telecentre Magazine). I love books and newspapers and magazines but I kept wanting to put in links and was annoyed when I could not.
For now the guide exists as a document and a series of blogs, so people can post comments that I can use to keep improving it. But I actually think it should be a wiki. Project for another day.
