Goanet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goanet is a mailing list related to the state of Goa, located on the western coast of India. It was started in 1994 by a (then) 17-year-old student Herman Carneiro,[1] and since then has grown into being the most influential electronic mailing list linked to Goa. Goanet has a readership of over 10,000 people each day.[citation needed] The list's participants, primarily Goans now living outside of Goa[2] have been involved with a number of initiatives, including an attempt to bring computers to more schools in Goa[3] and efforts by the government to study migration from Goa.[4]
