Sir, my two paise (cents - I dont have !!!)
- first of all thanks to them, CDAC, particularly for Free DVDs - BOSS, and EduBOSS. I have taken 10 + DVDs in the last 1 year, and have given to people who want to use / install them. - particularly for 2 / 3 teachers (private schools) in coimbatore (of course they are my relatives), they find them very useful - they could type in their own language - could also make question papers in different languages, and also give them multiple choice questions, etc. The only request I had asked them is : - to make a CD (instead of a DVD) which is limited to only certain applications - for general usage - to highlight the fact that 'people can do typing in their language' - also release seperate versions in languages (in built) - Particularly in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada & Hindi - as these are the people who are fierce to their mother-tongue. - promote them as a seperate version - with more tools (generic) in them - build packages for specific applications - say a General Super Market, etc, just package the ones existing in FOSS. One of the way - is to attract the users - highlighting on the Dual booting & local language. All these needs only different packaging, and not more coding. Options like these are endless, and I am going to get the wrath of people, saying that 'what are you going to do on this' !!!. I am just a user of PC, but has high regards for FOSS, and also the community. with warm regards, s.sivakumar mumbai
