Whoever makes it here and can read this has found the same backdoor like me because this forum has been blocked. I don`t quite understand the whole thing (did someone forget, misplace or misfile a former consent for this project to find funds via ads??). Anyway, it is a shame in my view and I have written to some people whose Email adresses I picked from the Yale website like the president, the chair of the alumni, the head of African studies and another professor in African cultural studies.

So why don´t you follow suite? If you are bright enough to get thru to this site you will find some meaningful adresses on the yale website as well. Waht I wrote was about this:

Sir, (or Madam...)
I would like to draw your attention to a regrettable development on Yales internet presence.

I just noticed that the Internet Living Swahili Dictionary has been blocked on the Yale server for some administrative problems.

This online dictionary and community has been for me my first contact to Yale.

I was, indeed, quite positively surprised that your university has such an impressive site and provides such an important service internationally.

For Swahili as a growing African international language your site has grown to be a major focus world wide. I have also been quite impressed how this programme managed to continue even after formal funding had obviously ended.

As I understand from the communication on the "Internet Living Swahili Dictionary has been taken offline"-screen the problem seems to be of some administrational nature.

I am surprised that such obstacle can come in the way of a unique Yale academic achievement and I would be disappointed if this obstacle should continue to block this important venue.

I could not really imagine so far that for one of the better American Universities a really important Africa related site should not matter any more.

I hope you are the right person to adress about this problem. As I am not familiar with Yale I just have to guess it from your website.

Kind regards
