[Telecentres] RE: [Telecentre's] Basic Telecentre Items

[Gopi Pradhan]

Andy and all,

On the issue of Basic Telecenter Items, let us compile the whole list at the 
end.
As Don said, and I agree that the list would depend from one type of 
telecentre to another. But a long list would certainly enable us to 
visualize a typical community telecenter.
If allowed by decency, I would even add some "rat traps"?
