Hey White African?

Great post. I recently acquired (through means best kept secret) the Adobe CS3 suite and Flash has great support for mobile content, even though it bends towards delivering RIAs onto the mobile web as opposed to stand alone mobile applications – but the tools are great and one can come up with great interfaces and powerful solutions.

Clearly the project’s goal is a software solution in the form of a mobile app or collection of mobile apps. I’d just like clarification on what the project hopes to achieve, because the growing cooperative culture in the African IT sector is the way foward, much like the Americans with their GNU project and Apache foundation which have led to great things.

Is it an open source venture? Any requirements, analysis, scope documentation we could peek at … white papers please!
