hi mamadou - i know almost nothing about your collective - except for 
what's here:
  https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/NewImcKenya
and on the imc-kenya and imc-africa mailing list archives.

If you are someone active in the collective, i'm sure you could volunteer
as one of the admins... :)

People on #ahimsa on irc said that  kenya uses sf-active software.

If blicero is busy, just ask around and hopefully someone else (who knows
sf-active) should be able to help - josh says he's a linux techie:

josh - my suggestion is download sf-active and experiment with it
locally - i don't know sf-active (and i'm not going to Nairobi, so i
should probably shut up soon...) -

i think imc africa and kenya people will tell you more concretely how
you can be supportive. The imc-africa list seems quite lively and
mamadou replied on imc-kenya.

Since the kenya server is on ahimsa, the two obvious methods of 
contact are:

email:  ahimsa-tech at lists.indymedia.org
irc:    #ahimsa     http://irc.indymedia.org
