Dear Hardeep-ji, Your points are well taken, and I indeed sympathise with your frustration. It can often seem that all various parties in India presenting a facade of support for FOSS are really interested in is promoting their own narrow agenda. Genuine supporters of FOSS seem to get marginalised in this process. Nevertheless, unless we have good reasons to believe otherwise, we should at least try to take on each potential new project at its face value. Given that we have the at least some volunteers, we should extend what support we can to Sanjay-ji. Balwinder, it would be good if you formally assumed lead of this project, and drive it from here on out.
