This is an interview of Ndesanjo Machaa, a Tanzanian who is working on a Swahili version of WikiPedia, as well as starting an effort to rewrite the Tanzanian constitution in a wiki-style open format.? This video was made spontaneously at the conference by Tom Munnecke on his cell phone video camera, and despite the less-than professional audio and video quality, it still communicates well.

Note also that this technology is available far into the poorest regions of the poorest countries of the world.? He states that the cost of mobile phones is "not prohibitive" to his mother in her village.
