I don't think we are/will be duplicating efforts. If there is information somewhere else why write it again. But there are so many threads on the mailing list asking about modem xyz (usually sold in India) not working, etc. It is difficult to find information about these on 'global' sites since they may not be very popular elsewhere. The site is intended to target that kind of audience. > 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 website should be the primary source of information and if it still does not work out, the user comes to mailing list and irc. -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
