The Future of WordPress is Low-Tech

This session will cover the severe need for low-tech access to WordPress but will focus on content production and consumption—which is a somewhat unique problem in the developing world. It will cover use cases, user groups, and a few proposed techniques for making content and publishing tools available to those without high-speed Internet, 3G connectivity, or traditional desktop publishing tools. Attendees will achieve a deeper understanding of potential, unreached user demographics and the tools/techniques they can use to reach these groups.
