But, what do you mean by Indian Edition of Ubuntu? Indian Edition means ubuntu edition made especially for India. Wasn't difficult to answer :P. IMHO, the existing ubuntu distribution isn't a very good option for people with poor net connection or old PCs. Even without any thing nifty running, ubuntu takes about 200mb of RAM on my system. At my home, I still use an old system with 256mb RAM. I believe similar would be the case with many households. With such mem usage, system would just crawl. It's just a thought, but I believe that it's very important to make ubuntu a bit leaner.

You mean developing new Yes, I was referring to development of new as well as improvement of existing features. there's still a lot of scope for improvement in ubuntu. > > > > Please enlighten me if the project is more than mere lang support. > The project also focuses on increasing contribution to Ubuntu, localized > support and help, etc. Hmm..I though, the idea was to make ubuntu specialised for Indians.
