Walter Sir, Thank You very much for accepting to mentor our team on the proposed areas.
But there seems to be some problem regarding participation of a team in the Program. It looks like, they only allow individuals to participate. So, we are planning to split the project into two parts: 1. Web browser development. 2. Localization and Porting of Sugar 0.90 to Ubuntu. We are looking for a third project, and would be great to suggest one It would be very helpful if we could have a discussion on this on irc, as soon as possible suiting Indian time. Thanking You.
