Nikhil,
You seem like the right person to write the article. You understand

What kind of help are you looking for to make it in Marathi?

Right, as long is it is _talking_. Also fine to write and publicize any
malpractices seen, so that others don't fall for it. But, put vendor names
somewhere and you are in for an ugly fight. Well, do that, too, if you
have enough time and resources.

Sankarshan,
By mention, I mean both, in writing, as well as in their pitch. Only upon
telling them that I already have their software, they claim that they
don't know much about the OS and Open Source and all that, and will get back
to me. Of course, they don't.

More than liability, I feel sad that since most schools don't know
about Linux and GCompris, they are sold out on this. Linux and
GCompris don't get the recognition that they deserve.
