Hello all, Its always good to see projects like this take shape and grow solely because of the efforts of volunteers/enthusiasts.
However, there comes a point in time where only volunteer time does not suffice. (I dont know if its true yet in this case). I would suggest that the core team come up with a estimated cost for getting a CD/DVD professionally cut using the material existing. Once done, I for one would be more than happy to contribute a sum towards such a project and I am sure there would be more contributors like that. This would ensure timely completion (and more importantly, availability) and many like myself would benefit from this. any takers? abhi > On बुध , 2004-03-24 at 15:02, Prakash Advani wrote: >> Nagarjuna, >> >> Why don't we record it and then offer to send a copy at media cost to >> all the engineering colleges? > > This needs recording, which means some one has to make the effort of > doing this.
