[governance] Tech for social good (or evil): Please help me develop a list of topics and resources

[Mehrzad Azghandi (via governance Mailing List)]

Hi Yosem,

It is very interesting and comprehensive list.
I am not sure Language Services and Applications are related to your list
or not. I mean Machine Translation , language related concerns and
issues,and the importance of fast translation in Economy and Global
Development; overcoming digital divide and so on .

Regards
Mehrzad
