Bisharat's QuickTopic Message Boards

In September 2001 I received a question about support for the Hausa language on computers and the internet. As part of my response I set up a message board using the QuickTopic message board service called "Hausa charsets & keyboards." Over the course of the next several years I set up similar forums in response to other questions, which are listed below in alphabetical order (my posts are under the name of "BisharatNet").

In 2013 I closed all but the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba boards to new contributions due to recurrent problems with spam with some, and non-activity on others. All remain open for reading:

• Ghanaian languages & ICT (closed)
• Hausa charsets & keyboards
• Ibibio, Efik, Anaang & ICT (fonts, keyboards & applications) (closed)
• Igbo language & ICT (fonts, keyboards & applications)
• Langues Béninoises et les NTIC (closed)
• Langues Burkinabè et les NTIC (closed)
• Langues Sénégalaises et les NTIC (closed)
• Swahili Advanced Computer Applications (SACA) (closed)
• Langues Togolaises et les NTIC (closed)
• Yoruba language & ICT (fonts, keyboards & applications)

Although these are technically electronic bulletin-board style forums, they also have a subscription feature.

They've had varying success - some having been used heavily, and others very little.
