Hello,

thanks for replying!

As I stated on the last Working Group Call I'm interested in distributed
networks. This could be especially interesting in … handhelds like
smartphones, which could communicate in a mesh.
So something capable to run a mobile would be handy.

The point is, I'm not deep enough in the politics to take things like
trade embargos into consideration; it's a lack of experience.

So I was “loud thinking”, what could be done.
Do we have someone on list who can tell about the needs in Syria and
sorroundings?

Say, you would make CDs/ePubs. How can you tell for sure, that the
people there have the gadgets to consume this material?
Do you understand, what I'm trying to say? What are the boundaries, we
have to respect? As far as I can tell, a laptop/desktop is rather
unlikely … so it does make no sense to write something which needs such
a computer.
