Hi All, Announcing the hindiakshar.org project with the explicit aim to build and improve open source local(not just localized) software usable by the local populace. And also help makers of open source or proprietary software development organisations with our expertise in building softwares based on local paradigms through our mailing lists and Apache style licensed software or libraries. Our aim is to promote development of software usable by people who would have the ability to work only using hindi(or other regional languages) such as goldsmiths, blacksmiths, traders, farmers, dairy cooperatives, housewives and other traditional or otherwise employed people who do not understand the english language based paradigms. We wish to encourage the software development paradigm for developing applications from the ground up with a target market defined as different from the current set of business application software oriented towards english knowing (and western music buffs) classes. Yes we are also talking about Indian Geek sub-culture which doesn't ape the west.To discuss the aims of the project please join the wiki (powered by drupal ) at http://wiki.hindiakshar.org and join the mailing lists at http://lists.hindiakshar.org/listinfo/akshar-user and http://lists.hindiakshar.org/listinfo/akshar-devel
