Dear Dr. Gomez,
Thanks for indicating the missing theme in the list. Also considering theme
of social exclusion and marginalization's role in user participation and
design for crowd-sourcing based ICTD initiative.
Thanks also for the paper. It makes some interesting comparisons on
information finding behavior variation with literacy levels of the
participants.
Best Regards,
Abhigyan
