Dear Hempal dai, Sorry for not being able to make it to the meeting.
We can go with Sushil's design. Let me clarify on webmaster's issue. I was going to propose we hire a part time webmaster on hourly basis. So webmaster works like 2 / 3 hours in a week and gets paid for 10 to 12 hours a month. We won't be spending a hell lot of money dai. Its just a small bounty and a way to have a dependable person to maintain a website. However, the website content should only be updated as guided by the core team. I have been hiring students on this hourly schemes in other projects and it really works for them. It could also work for other professionals. Answering Aayush's comment! Its of course a good thing that volunteers handle the website and we had tried it in past (since 2007) but when we depend on volunteers, a small change in website took us weeks if not months. Having a virtual team is not a problem, we should have a team to guide the contents but we need a person who is available whenever we need to update the website.
