[Cross-posted]
I've started work on a software patent FAQ with an Indian viewpoint. Please take a moment to read and:
1. Provide feedback (or better, enhancements) on style and facts.
2. Put it in an easily-editable Wiki so it's easier for people to contribute. Please do NOT choose a Wiki that has a complex registration process.
3. Fill in the portions that are incomplete and suggest new topics and/or facts that can go into the FAQ.
I'm hoping that the FAQ can serve as a starting document for any action we take against software patents in India.
The FAQ is available at:
http://kandalaya.org/Docs/patent-faq.sgml -- SGML source http://kandalaya.org/Docs/patent-faq.html -- One big HTML file http://kandalaya.org/Docs/html/patent-faq.html -- Multiple HTML files
Regards,

I have "wiki-fied" the text and put it up at http://www.lug- delhi.org/SoftwarePatentFAQ . I have also added a few references, and some tiny examples of patents. Feel free to edit them if they are unsuitable.
The wiki only requires simple registration before editing.

Great work, Sandip, and thanks for the quick action!
Have made some more changes to the Wiki version (mostly adding more TODO items :)

Erhm, forgot to mention in the earlier mail:
Please use the lug-delhi.org version of the FAQ for all future edits. Please do NOT use the kandalaya.org version, that is now out of date and will be taken down after a while.

Very nice and useful work. Great work Raj and Sandip. I do hope others in the list will take this initiative forward and make this a very useful resource.
