Akash and Subir dai has already pointed out about our ongoing efforts to it. I also agree with your point and it would be really a great milestone to achieve by starting real FOSS development. Also the scenario that D2Hawkeye having a local development and hosting platform (sourceforge is always there too), it's going to help us.

I'm working on the internationalization and localization aspect of the project. Interested candidates are encouraged to join.
