Prof Partha and Fossians In 2009 a proposal has been written by Me with the help of Prof Y Yadhav and Prof Patt Hall and submitted to Constitutional Assembly making a plan to archive whole discussion of constitutional debate. In initial stage CA responses and said to make a body to do this job. we went 3 - 4 times for further process but CA told us that it has no Budget to archive constitutional debate in text and voice with v-XML format. It would be a Big corpus means Capital data for second generation. But we became unable to archive such property. Now we can do something. Like, to make a constitutional daily log using Mediawiki etc. We can make a detail corpus of the whole constitutional debate voluntarily but further we can convince government body or NGOs and INGOs to collect some budget for such volunteers. If FOSS organize a serious I can explore some Idea related to open source constitution of NEPAL.
