MyFoodStory

JanetFeldman, January 11, 2007: What wonderful stories! You ask abt hosting or posting stories at KAIPPG and OVF, and what I would say is that perhaps Jeff/Joy and I can work on something collaborative to post.

Note that I will be wanting to do a page which also collects stories from the communities KAIPPG serves, though this is not part of the official FoodStory project. I think it's important to make that link, otherwise it will seem a bit confusing to people, I think. It may make more sense for KAIPPG to feature African stories, with a url link to stories from other places. Much as I'd love to post those, such as the ones coming from Palestine, Lithuania, and elsewhere.

Though OVF works in Africa, they also have a global orientation in some regards, so perhaps it would be more appropriate for them to host other stories (ie from elsewhere)...in addition to Africa, that is? Whatever is posted on KAIPPG needs to be done solely by other people, though, as I am not tech-savvy in this way at all. And in HTML, I think, as this is the format for other things posted (does that need to be consistent?).
