hi roni, you raised a very important point. and if people keep on saying "this won't happen in india " it will actually never happen. I rather firmly believe that the people who say such things are the real culprits themselves with a few exceptions who might not have time or confidence or both to share their knowledge. but I think instead of saying such things we must look at how this can be achieved. it is happening already in kerala that the government is using open standards and education is also going on the grounds for free softwre. so it is not that such things can't happen. it is how many are ready to make an honest eford and how much time can one give. regards, Krishnakant.
