Sigga,
The precursor to Gambia-L was a mailing list started in 1994 by Dr. Katim
Touray, following the overthrow of the Jawara government.  The rapid growth of
the Internet resulted in more Gambians getting online and consequently an
increase in the number of subscribers to the original mail list.  This,
together with a number of factors, warranted a much more powerful and flexible
list management system.
Fortunately, the University of Washington in Seattle provided this facility,
resulting in the launch of Gambia-L on January 31, 1996.

Gambia-l was moved to St. Johns University in New York on May 19, 1999.

regards,
Momodou Camara
