Hello! San,

I liked your photograph taken in Nepal and its caption.
I thought its frome someone else, but, come out to be
Sajha.com. Is not that good. Why not we have one
Big billboard in Prithvi Highway between KalankiThan
and Thankkot. Or, bhitta ma lekhne (by paying appropriate
money to the owner of the house wall / bill board).

If you need donation, I am ready to offer US $10 equivalent
Nepali rupees (for this purpose in annual basis, as long as I
am in Japan).

Hahoo!Guru

Haho Guru Ji,
We use this Hahoo terms as nothing serious just for fun type of thing, right? Is this what we are doing here? just hahoo? Appreciate your comments on this. NO offence please. This is just HaHoo hai Guruji.

While San and our Sajha.com heavy wt. champion
Ashu in Nepal, the Sajha.com forum can be strengthened
by starting on non-governmental organization (to make
it more systematic to make Ashu's dream of having
official SPY photographer for Sajha.com). I mean we
can set up one "e-Nepal Sajha Society" and collect revenue
through membership and donations, make its accounting
and other things transparent by employing some part time
(initially) office bearers. As it expands, we can bring
more programs to make peoples hook to Sajha.com.
In future, like City Libraries in USA, Sajha.com can offer
peoples discounted internet connection to its members
in Nepal. I had seen one Internet & e-mail shop in
Thahiti that has only one computer, 6 keyboard-n-screen
and one line of telephone, and it offers just 20rupees
for internet use per hour. The download speed was
not very bad. It was pretty fast. So, I mean we can
ask others for sponser, like beer-churot-raksi (well,
these are the peoples who easily offer sponsership,
and as long as you have "beer-churot-raksi seban
sarir ko lagi hanikarak chha" banner, I don't mind
the sponsorship). We will need someone in this
"e-Nepal Sajha Society" who can dedicate his important
time of his life to make it a sustainable, just the way
San is doing here in Cyber-space. What I am afraid
is that once it has some office set-up, (like chair
and table with office room having clerks), then,
some idiots will try to capture for their personal
benefit, this is the trend in Nepal. This is my experience
and San will be continously flamed by these groups
to hand over the Sajha.com's all program and leave
the ... finally, some idiot will become our Sajha.com 's
web master. Its the worst, but, most probably scenario
if we make Sajha.com more public. If we move things
more cautiously and more democratically, it will surely
be a better move. So I have some more things to
make it realy workable plan:

1. The voting system (as we had seen the one IP address
one vote is the useless idea when some members are too
irresponsible, as we had seen here, or in Kantipuronline)
needs to be refined. It can be refined only if we register
new members via at least two verifiable recommendations.
As this proposal was already mentioned sometime back.

2. Democratic: It should be fully based electing officers
by voting. Well, except the programmer and web-site
master, as long as San does not leave us.

3. Transparent accounting.

4. Distribution of edited version of best topics and discussions
via email for those who do not have access to internet, but,
periodic email check ups.

5. Request Ashu to get once a month workshop at Martin
Chautari organized on behalf of "e-Nepal Sajha Society"
and Milan samaroh for Nepal based "e-Nepal Sajha Society"
members.

6. Summarization of news papers in Nepal. Weekly based.
You can ask Nepal based readers to briefly write which
newspaper said what ... (well, MOS ' nepalnews.com
already offer main sections of top level newspapers. But,
some of might be missing inside pages.

7. Ashu's dream of running SPY photography section. I am
still ready to offer my $100 earning to buy digital camera.

Lets think it.

Hi HaaHoo Guru,

Thanks for your excellent ideas. I met San for about 20 minutes at my office in Kathmandu late yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, and we talked about -- what else but -- sajha.com.

We bounced off a few ideas, and decided to have a gathering of sajha people
in Kathmandu soon. San has other excellent ideas for this site, which, I am sure, he'll be sharing with us all here when appropriate times come.

Rest assured that San seems to want to make this site a lot more vibrant, and
of more interest to members of the global Nepali communities. One challenge is
to how to tap the still unrealized potential of this site in ways that serve us
Nepalis all the more. To that end, my role is to help in any way I can . . . and
that, time-permitting, I am always happy to do.

That said, those of us who remember the early days of gbnc.org continue to be amazed/astounded and even positively shocked by the site's evolution to better
and better avatars and its continous organic growth.
