I have just posted an appeal to all on Desi Critics here.
I don’t like the Movable Type platform they have but this is about it. All appeals to set up a WP solution fell on deaf ears. Still wondering, what’s with WP that people don’t seem to like it?
The whole purpose is to get a wider audience for the presumed “movement”; Let’s hope the mainstream media gets interested.
What happens after I get unlimited Broadband for a cheaper price. Well, I start campaigning for Digital Divide and Open Source with renewed vigour. Of course, once after my exams are done and dealt with. That’s another headache apart from BSNL!

Yeah. Hardware costs aren't much. We can explore options for community PC's and all running Linux. My favourite model is Thick server- thin client. This only makes it important to upgrade the server as and when necessary.
How much computing ower you need? 486 with 5 MB RAM to run BSD. 65 MB hard drive to run linux under Command line.
Mars ROVER used only 4hz...yes 4 HERTZ to transmit those pics. It never needed any version coming from Redmond.
In anycase, Linux is the answer. Or BSD> Cost effective, secure, scalable, idiot proof and FREE for all times to come. THis thin client can cost roughly 6000-7000 per terminal for upto 25 terminals. It makes sense. Glorious sense. Csts can be brought down by using older systems. I shall explore in detail in a later post.
