According to Indian law it is illegal to show a map that differs from the
official map (which includes, Pakistan controlled Kashmir and the
Achal,
Good points. Thank you.
To have additional mods, it is fairly a simple process to add them in
mailman. I would suggest that atleast as a start, we can ask people here to
nominate themselves for the positions and we can pick two. Would be great if
they are already familiar with the work.
Dear Achal,
The below email seems to be trying to address too many things. I'll try to
answer some of those. I appreciate your continued interest in the Chapter
activity, considering that you were the one who started this out by putting
together the initial team.
It is probably unfair to say

Couldnt help asking, but could you please point out whom are you referring
as trolls here and who attacked you (or any member of EC) personally? As far
as I see this, community members raised multiple concerns here and other
threads about transparency in EC's actions and we, as community

Hi Jyothis
I believe Sudhir Ponappa for one sounded aggressive, designation of a troll
is not that far-fetched. You can check with Casey as a neutral observer if

Hoi,
As someone who is interested in how India and its projects are doing, the
India mailing list is a treasure to me. I am afraid that the current type of
bickering will have people move away, first from the mailing list and
potentially away from our projects. The objective of both this list and

hi,
At the discussion yesterday, we were told that the OCR did not work at all
in case of many Indian languages. Also, as a person who does not understand
OCR at all, can any one help me with what they mean by a 80% successful

I think the time has come to assume good faith and let the office

the community's concerns at lack of transparency, lack of

I concur with the broad idea behind points 3-7 though specifics need to be
worked out to suit the legal entity that the chapter is.
In fact, some of these have been addressed in the MoA, I think.
However, what is the additional role that you envisage for the
