ListersThis debate is very healthy and will undoubtedly contribute to strengthening of KICTANet.
A quick note to say that KICTANet is on twitter, @kictanet. Washington set this up ages ago. You can start following.
The kictanet website
http://www.kictanet.or.ke has all discussions that take place on a daily basis and allows for comments. Actually the site is structured like a blog.
Those are quick comments from a sister :)...Harry are you there?

Hey Bob, Almost also felt so. In fact I suggest we asap get a kicktanet handle on twitter, plus get it on facebook likeyesterday. Most folks you can now find them here.. I suppose you/Walu are right on this aspect, - that thenew kids on the block might find how we conduct things here, a bit old school to an extent.. I suppose if am any right, Kicktanet is supposed to be engagement, engagement and more engagement.. Other ideas..? Sisters, mlihama…? Harry From: robert yawe [mailto:robertyawe at yahoo.co.uk]

Harry, We are ageing, email is loosing is lustre and the new generation hate records and prefer platforms like twitter and facebook. The responsibility for keeping the forum active remains with those over 35 year old who unfortunately are trying to fit in with the younger crowd. uuummmmm is there a way out of this loop.^C Regards Robert Yawe

Subject: Re: [kictanet] Kictanet alive.. kickin, or kicked into the dustbin...! Ara..! Not many people seriously want to rejuvenate this forum, as per Brian/Walubengo’s suggestion…? Cannot imagine the forum becoming a good case study one day for some thesis student. Whose research titles among others:-· “How-to-kill a good forum, kick it into the dustbin and leave it for the dead” · “The rise and rise, and fall and fall of a myriad of many ICT forums in Kenya, the major one being….· “How-not-to build structural resilience and offer strategic leadership”. Why the big forum went M.I.A, and petered out..· And the final one perhaps, “ Do not repeat the mistakes listed above, time for a RESET..”! Certainly, unless otherwise – we might be headed for such a case study. Not sure if I should patent the titles, just in case..!

Subject: Re: [kictanet] Kictanet alive.. kickin, or kicked into the dustbin...! I think Walu is on the right track. Every organisation for-profit or not, has to reassess it's strategy, relevance, business direction and thrust periodically or risk falling into the shadows. Is it time for KICTAnet to do so? As one of the founders and a trustee I think that the time has come. My 2 shillings, BrianOn Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 6:21 PM, Walubengo J <jwalu at yahoo.com> wrote:@Wash,
Maybe Delano is insinuating something. Perhaps KICTAnet needs to re-juvinate
and re-energize. Bring in new blood and thinking. What do we want from KICTAnet, 8yrs later? What management structures, membership structures, operational, financial structures do we want to see going forward?
Perhaps a brainstorming face2face session is due. I for one have been the moderator since inception and maybe someone else can do a better job and we just have not asked them to come forth. Think about it - I could have run out of ideas or some younger dot.commer may just be sitting on better ways of moderation that I have never imagined...
just my 2pings.
walu.

You mean the post-Easter stupor, or??
