Digital Divide for Farmer Information

I am happy

Cleanup

I have begun the process of cleaning up this article, initially by adding more sections.

The text itself needs editing - it is too verbose, and textbookish.

The article would benefit from some illustrative graphs, showing world regions affected by the digital divide, and possibly relating them to economic indicators for those regions.

A short discussion about methods/technologies used to address the divide would be useful, but without going into too many details - many of the methods/technologies/products have independent articles on Wikipedia and we should link to those. Achitnis 14:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

wiareport.org external link

I removed this as it was added by the institution that "owns" the project:

World Information Access Project tracks digital divide trends and produced an annual report

It looks like it could be good information but I haven't heard of it before and the presentation is very "bloggy" making it difficult (on a very brief look at least) to see what is finished research and what is untested information and opinion. Other editors should take a look and see what they think.

While we're on the subject the external links section could do with pruning and focusing. It's a bit of a jumble at the moment. --Siobhan Hansa 23:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
