this is a problem faced by all lugs in the country. Installation
issues are now trivial. A lug that sticks to installation issues is
going nowhere. No doubt there are newbies with questions, but with
easy internet access, the dont really *need* the lug lists. It is
time to focus on higher things. Or the lugs will die out - as they
have no function. I personally feel it is time to focus on software,
programming, applications, localisation rather than installation
related issues. And in depth workshops, projects, training camps,
student mentoring - there are moves in this direction in Delhi and
Chennai. Which is keeping these lugs alive physcially - not merely as
mailing lists. And these two seem to be the only lugs that are
growing. Because of this trend? Or the weather?
