dear supreet
got your email from prateek who says you are the best guy to talk to,
regarding the LAP project.
some new developments just took place about two hours ago.
i suppose it is possible for me to arrange for your CBSE course and
documentation stuff to happen, at rapid speed, free, and freedom-based.
students and teachers from about 12 to 20 schools, are going to come
together, and launch a new website. this website will contain syllabus,
course contents, educational software, links to external resources. . . the
works.
it is a complete documentation project. and it will mention both commercial,
and freedom-based software within the contents. HOWEVER, the license of the
website itself will be a freedom-based license.
the participating schools will publish this under an appropriate
freedom-based license, such as opencontent, or openpublication, or even
gnu/gpl, such that its freedom is protected and ensured.
so this documentation can further be downloaded, or archived and distributed
on cds, or even republished as eBooks. those who wish, could also compile and
print it as a printed book. BUT THE LICENSE remains free, we do not want any
exploitation from publishers....
if you're interested to find out more, we could meet. i live in south delhi,
about 3 km from nehru place.
however, the meeting has to be short, agenda-based, and highly focussed,
since time is my most precious asset. the agenda objective would be to know
exactly what does LAP need in terms of documentation, which can then be given
to the schools to complete and fulfil. and they will do it as a website in
the first shot. later it can be converted to other media.
