Ok thanks for the concern but I'll still have the website ready by next week just in case anybody contacts RMS and he agrees....
Back when I started the community, I did not have any hosting facility I had even requested for a list at mm.gnu.org.in but didn't get any reply... In the current host there is no mailman but i'm buying a mailman hosting later...
The web site is supposed to be the platform for everything in the community... There's an activism blog, project Ideas blog, Project addition request blog... Wiki per project. and GIT repositories for each project... so there is no point in first tediously building the community if the launch if the website can easily attract developers and activists.... Currently the community has 5 people who have not yet responded to any emails in the group! so first the launch!
For the question that how is this different from gnu.org It is not a website like gnu.org but a community of Free Software Bloggers.. .and a community of developers like apache.org who develop only selected High quality free software. all using various services like blogengine and GIT repos on the same server and funded by same sponsors.

Sorry if I'm causing trouble by telling this late but How can I launch the site during the RMS visit...
RMS visit is tightly packed now. I dont think we have a free slot for this.
Also personally a I feel that Making a community is much important than launching a website by a celebrity. so Keep the spirit and start building your community. Let community prove its work. not the website
