What about creating original content (e.g. "Make GIMP more powerful by

This means that someone has to really dig in heels and create content;
if it is targeted towards "newbies", it would be incomplete without
screenshots etc. And it makes NO sense to duplicate the efforts.
Remember: This is not meant to be an Ubuntu knowledge site like
OMG!Ubuntu. This will provide LoCo centric articles and some stuff to
make the Ubuntu user feel more comfortable.
True, but I remember the time when I used to stare a spartan 'Indian
Loco' web site without being of any use. The best help was in the IRC
but then,it depends on the active participation. I wonder how many are
really aware.
Ultimately it's your decision but I can only chime in my ideas.
Seriously, it takes a lot to convince someone steeped in Windows
XP/Vista/7 crapware to even look at Ubuntu/Linux derivatives because it
is perceived to just "work" (whatever annoyances Windows XP may have).
If you such a user base to start off with, they would need ways and
means to get aggregated content in one place. It would also be a strong
case of more user interaction on the site.

A much better idea would be to aggregate the content from Ubuntu

efforts. India specific news/announcements/support can be provided
through forums/mailing list/IIRC with clear directions.
Hope this helps.
