I second Parth and Roshan. To many channels of information is confusing for the user. All said, a forum is easy to search in and some people like it more than mailing lists. My two cents: Let's keep the discussions this mailing list and update the ubuntu-india wiki with the information that is relevant to India. I personally feel that it is not a good idea to replicate the already existing information that is on main Ubuntu wiki and forums. This is problematic to keep the copies in sync with the original. PS: Hello community. This is my first mail to this list. Actually I saw this list but it some how escaped my mind. Anyways, better late than never.
