Kictanet infrastructure
Kictanet has set a great example for digitization in Kenya by running
its own email lists. Being able to run ones own infrastructure is a
first step to being able to manage ones data. Some of the work done by
Kictanet may benefit from using other software. In particular, would
Kictanet also consider setting up and self-hosting:
a) Nextcloud – a shared file service that can allow for collaborative
editing of documents

Thanks. Washington and Kivuva – would there be interest in trying these
out? Decidim might be of interest to get feedback on proposed
legislation and other similar documents for which Kictanet seems to
solicit from time to time. Decidim gives better structure to such
discussions than a chat application, though there is no mobile client –
perhaps helpful in ensuring longer thoughtful responses. Am happy to
help set up, but unsure of your priorities and data policies, as
administrators you have great powers and greater responsibilities.
