I'm forwarding this message from Fabian (IMC Sheffield, in the UK, also
one of the IMC people who was in Bamako for the WSF) because its
relevant to the discussion around CMI Bamako.

Hi Peter,
how are you doing...
things in Bamako are slowly going, I suppose, but the problem with 
volonteer networks is that you can't make people work faster...which in 
the case of the provisional Bamako CMI page would be really important. 
I am happy the guys from Ireland took it on, anyway, and hopefully the 
page will come into existance...soon...
the IMC in Africa list can help maybe I am thinking of writing 
something to encourage people to write articles for the list first or 
something...Ternas and any other french speakers support on the list to 
translate and include the mali and togo activists would be really 
helpful
.
for nairobi we need to be prepared, have a provisional page ready when 
we go there (I saw your suggestion on the communications list before 
Mali started...good one! but its not about the domain) I think we do 
not need a indy domain, but we do need a page in advance....the one 
Yoram is running for east arfrica is nice and it could be one like 
this.

Umverteilen was happy with the report (its online, you can see it) and 
asked us hand in the next proposal a bit earlier ;-)

For Nairobi...I have this Idea which I like to discuss with you and IMC 
Southafrica...
The idea is, instead of flying to Nairobi from SA, we get a big bus 
(school bus type) and install computers, video cutting facilities and a 
radio and a projector and we do a little media lab tour from SA to 
Nairobi...say from October to January....Now it might not apeal to you 
(busy man, aren't you...) but I guess there are some activists (esp 
young) who would love this...Personally I would be on that bus for 
sure...
We could do serveral things...
connect
contact
collect
local media activists from the countries inbetween and bring them to 
Nairobi....cheap and green

also we could also genueniely produce a remarkable event for a lot of 
activists...who will hopefully stay with Indymedia therafter...
what do you reckon?

Best
Fabian
