Hi Senthil, Thank you very much for that powerful and encourage email. There is just a bit of that kind of work already done what we could use. Gjgerj created some time ago a fancy wordpress page: http://care2x.wordpress.com/ And Alvaro and/or Lopo a nice facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=26104633286
Also there is a new trac what we might could use, you can reach it from the sf.net page to report/create Tickets. What we would need would be a perfect website to publish all these kind of work and present it to all other in the world what we are doing, what care2x represent and how it is working. If you don't mind my asking if you could contribute to create a good website/template based on a cms for care2x.org? (Server/technical infrastructure we will provide) Thanks Robert Am Donnerstag, den 29.04.2010, 04:09 -0700 schrieb Senthil (Senthilruban, Puvanendran): > Hi Everyone > > > Good to see new development on care2x.
