Dear All, Taking full responsibility for maintaining the website has always been an issue. To maintain the website, lets hand over the website project to somebody we hire. This brings up the issue of cost. I suggest all the FOSSians to donate some money(what ever one can) to FOSS Nepal for the website.
To start with I initiate by donating 1001 NRS to the fund. IF needed I am willing to donate more. I am putting forward this model because, volunteers always don't have time to keep continuing to look after the website and we need someone fully responsible and reliable.
