Response to Hoffman

David Hoffman’s write-up was interesting because I was not really acquainted this issue before reading it. To be honest I learned a lot. There is a lot going on and there is a lot to consider. The impact that IFIwatchnet.orgproject has is important. As Hoffman states, “The added-value of IFIwatchnet to our work then is the opportunities it provides to promote campaigns of grassroots groups to a broader international audience, and to consolidate the experiences of other movements within one comprehensive framework.” It seems to be all about opportunities. Yet this is not just about just getting the message out there. It is about having an equal playing field for these opportunities which means English is not the universal language and is also shown through being aware that other areas of the world may not have easy access to the internet and electricity as well. In looking over the information one major thing stuck out in my head which was a point mentioned midway through. I wondered about people may not have easy access to technology. What are the actual efforts being done for them? What does an open-source web content system do and how is it helpful, specifically in regards to people who do not have easily available access to technology?
