NIC doesnt develop these big apps - they tender for it. No one needs training to run or use a web app. All they need to know is how to use a keyboard and mouse. Just that no open source compnay bid for the tender. Main reason being that there is no open source company in India. (there *are* companies which develop and deploy using open source platforms and tools, but they *dont* release their software as open source, so for all practical purposes it makes no difference to the community or the country whether e-gov runs on IIS on M$ or apache on linux) -- regards kg http://www.livejournal.com/users/lawgon tally ho! http://avsap.org.in ಇಂಡ್ಲಿನಕ್ಸ வாழ்க! -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
