Ghana (Continued)
December 19, 2004 ( life )
I thought I'd made a decsion on Ghana, but nooooo, they have to be all flexible and shit. They're OK with waiting until mid-January for me to head out there (presuming I will be in dialog with the people who've begun work on the project). There's an inital deadline in Feb/Mar for some form of the website to be live and working, but the project could extend through another few months, and realistically, is likely to not be a done deal in ~ 1 month. It's a 3-part project for which I'll be the web guy, there's also a DB part of it (any DB programmers wanna go to Ghana this Spring? They're lookin), and a V/Sat person to link remote databases to the website via sat-links.
Here's their initial project description:
The MISTOWA project resource center will create a portal web site that links the public to producer organizations, trader organizations, regional market information systems, and other important websites throughout the region in order to increase regional trade. Marketing information, prices, publications, market news, directories, information on grades and standards, transport road conditions, credit options, etc will be available through the MISTOWA Resource Center website. The RATIN system in East Africa is a good example of the model that the MISTOWA Resource Center will follow, www.ratin.net.
I need a pro/con list I think:
| Ghana | Austin | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| PRO | CON | PRO | CON |
|
|
|
|
OK, so, the Ghana-Pro list is pretty long. I also realize that I'm in the enviable postition of choosing between two different jobs with different (and unique) benefits.
