I think this is a great step in the right direction.I learnt something really valuable from my recent trip to hong kong...the penetration levels of computers there are so high purely because all software is localized. I was surprised to find that ALL computer books are in the local language!! Rather than waiting for and depending on a commercial organisation to give us localized software, our govt. should take the initiative and start the process using GNU software. Our English-speaking populace is considered a strength in some areas, but if we are to take the advantages of technology to the masses, the ONLY way is by helping them adopt it in the easiest possible way.
great work Nagarjuna..we couldnt have had a better ambassador at such a forum.
