Praveen, http://fosscomm.in/HallOfShame needs to enlarge its scope.
For instance, http://nrega.nic.in/ is the portal designed and developed by NIC for Ministry of Rural Development. http://nrega.nic.in/user_manual_nrega.pdf is its user manual, where, even MoRD tries to explain what is meant by "Microsoft technologies and open technologies".
Examples like these not only expose the linkages that Microsoft have with NIC and MoRD, but also intimates us the ineffectiveness of Ministry of Information Technology in endorsing open standards, even for public utilities that have a national presence. I am afraid whether appeals before MIT would remain appeals only, as these kind of stealth-actions go undisturbed with the help of national public agencies.
How do we counter these kind of subversive activities in the most effective manner ? Whom are we going to approach ? Most importantly, how are we going to document these subversive activities in our Hall of Shame ? CK Raju
