Afghan Web project

[Update 04 Oct: We're in touch with a writer who lived in Kabul last year, but still welcome new leads]

Wired is collecting Web sites whose content is posted either by people living in Afghanistan, or by recent expatriates. I've started with these. Got more? Email me at boutin@wiredmag.com. I'm especially looking for pages not in English, and people who can translate them. No political agenda here other than paying more attention.

http://www.rawa.org/ - Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan, maintained in Pakistan. Wired News story
