Abstract
This paper reflects on our work in deriving targeted methodologies to develop IT applications and content in a developing world environment. This paper argues that a common thread over more than a decade of experience in building Information and Communication Technology systems has been a community centred approach. We relate this to the African philosophy of ubuntu. These approaches are wrapped into an iterative Action Research paradigm to include the communities of users directly.
