Descripción: Modern information and communication technology (ICT)provides novel and powerful opportunities to assist poor people in helping themselves, privately as well as embedded in their communities. PeopleNet is a concept and plan for a virtual community service based open ICT principles. Its focus is on realizing underprivileged people's information rights, and its main goal is to provide and leverage the practical information poor citizens need to improve their living situations. This comprises any information topic, as long as it is deemed relevant by the poor themselves, including the domains of health, agriculture, social relations, and commerce. The assessed state from where PeopleNet is developed is such that we are globally increasingly well-equipped with technological means yet still relatively poor in terms of principles and practices for exploiting these means. There is a great need for design improvements and adaption and PeopleNet aims at commencing such developmental work.
