Greetings from infoDev!

Over the past two months, the interest in our newly designed website -- -- has been tremendous. Thanks to those of you who have sent us your ideas and suggestions for improvements.  A few new features include the addition of RSS feeds, a video library which includes short profiles on infoDev initiatives, an ICT4D topic page which provides links to general resources in the field, and a quick guide on low cost computing devices.

This is the final infoDev newsletter for 2006. We are grateful to our donors and partners for their support and enthusiasm and to you for your continued interest in infoDev and for helping us push the frontiers on ICT4D. 

We wish all of you a healthy and happy holiday season and best wishes for the year ahead.
