I think we don't need to put more content since lots of content is already available on the web. We can extend our Resource link on the site. We can make it more organized and rich with good links. By keeping only pointers in organized way, we will be able to build resource repository faster and with less effort.
*snip* That's a good thought Dharmesh, but I would stick with the content paradigm for a plethora of reasons.
First, because first-hand experiences with software and various tools that many ilugers have are invaluable.
Secondly, sharing experiences and content will not only hon up your communication skills-but it will also evoke responses from people all over the world.
Thirdly because India is a different country. For example, a small company in the US may even have 500 employees. In India that would be a medium-sized company. GNU/Linux is good for SMEs who want to save on their IT investments. Hell, in India small-companies are like 15-80 employees, perhaps even lesser. What is true off-shore won't be true here. One must realise that everything has a local twist.
And most importantly you'd want to do this because, you would want to popularise GNU/Linux among Indian people - students especially. For this they must be able to relate to and maybe even meet the contributors. That's the whole issue of having a community isn't it?
In contrast to your less-effort point, this will certainly require a lot more efforts-perhaps much more than we ever imagined. But the returns will be more promising.
See if you agree with this Dharmesh. Content is an empty word-it's knowledge and wisdom that you share :). I wonder what the others feel about this.

Amol Hatwar.
