| Great!  I will keep the list posted about the SRH 
webmaster list. The other audience 
question (which I didn't address) is browser compatibility.  
Bandwidth aside, what browsers are used by your target audience: IE 4/5/6/7, Netscape 4/5/6/7, Firefox 1.5/2.0, 
etc.?  Thankfully you shouldn't have to deal with AOL's integrated 
browser (which ought to offer free pain reliever 
pills to web developers), but there may be compatibility issues with 
local/regional ISPs of which I am not aware.  Then, are you going to require any plugins?  This 
could be Flash, video (Windows Media, QuickTime, Flash Video, etc.), or other 
"rich media" content that has its own version requirements.  Also, you may want to use a scripting framework 
like jQuery that has specific browser 
requirements.  All things to 
consider. On a related note: do 
you know of any browser statistics for developing countries?  I don't, but 
I wish I did!  One aspect of the SRH webmaster discussion group could be 
the pooling of web tracking data of localized web sites to help figure this 
out.  Or maybe someone has already done this, and I'm not aware of 
it.  (that would be cool!)

you for the input you gave me on my previous question.  Secondly, although 
we discuss mainly technically and connectivity issues, I am not opposed to 
sharing development and web related issues.  If you are interested in 
creating a separate group, I definitely would like to join in.  I can also 
recruit a lot of people in my organization since we do a lot of web app/site 
development. Jojo From:

Behalf Of Tor de Vries Hello 
everyone...   Are any 
of you aware of online discussion groups specifically for webmasters working in 
the SRH field?  I've poked around online, and there are a lot of webmaster 
lists (such as the one at NTEN) but I don't see one specifically for SRH.  
Think of it as the web design/development version of GRHITS.  I don't think 
GRHITS itself is appropriate, because many IT topics are not web-related (and 
many web topics are not IT-related).   If you 
know of one, let me know.  If not, however, would anyone be interested in 
participating in one?  I think SRH-related sites face some unique issues 
compared to other sites (corporate or NPO), and I also think that organizations 
in this sector might benefit from mutual agreements about online assets (even 
simple things, like how our sites link to each other).  If you know someone 
who might be interested, please forward this to them.   Earlier 
today, Bill Lester suggested to me that NPOKI might be a good host for such 
a group.  So we've got an idea, and we've got a location, now do we have 
any interest?   Let me 
know what you think.  Thanks.         Regards, Tor   -- Tor
