If you look at the landing page for joining this list it has the 
following description.

*Started in 2005, this list is for any discussion related to any aspect 
of open GIS (open source, open data, open content, etc.) anywhere in 
Africa.
*

The above statement is descriptive enough. Sometimes in the list, we 
encounter conversations about proprietary GIS which we respond to. But 
generally, we do not encourage specific questions about how to do 
certain tasks using proprietary GIS software. I am sure there are plenty 
of platforms for asking questions with regards to XYZ(proprietary) software.

Interesting questions could be like:

I usually do these tasks in software XYZ (proprietary) how do I do the 
same tasks using Open Source GIS software ?.

We also encourage people to share their answers with the lists as it 
helps a lot of people rather than responding to individual emails.
