Not sure what you mean by this response. "The process" of what? A third possibility exists besides the two that I mentioned in my earlier message: That of having an open-source group that does this, where the incentive for doing the development for free is recognition. However, the hosting costs will still be high. My opinion also is that given the current strength and abilities of open-source communities in India, even development in this manner will be very difficult.
