Hi, I would try these steps (probably in this order): 1. Visit a university library, look through all computer journals, identify titles that might be relevant. Ask the reference librarian where to find the index for those journals, and browse. Or maybe they have an online way to browse the journals' indexes. 2. Visit cpsr.org, Computer Professionals for Social Responsiblity 3. Email or call CPSR for info: 650-322-3778, cpsr@cpsr.org 4. Google "socially responsible computing" and follow promising leads. CPSR has many chapters all over the world, and consequently many people in 3rd world countries they could put you in touch with. I agree, free software is especially important in developing economies. Marianne
