A good thing would to help in the preparation of a deployment/pilot
checklist and planning document for specific pilots/deployments in
India. A good reference would be to use would be the Deployment Guide
posted on the wiki
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_Guide

Amit or me will soon be posting first draft of such a document and I
encourage all to help in completing and refining that.

Another way to help would be to help recruit and organize volunteers.
Some of the immediate areas where I can see help being needed is
translations and localized content. Marathi and Kannada seem the
immediate needs. Amit can you please confirm ?

They are all follow up to the same thread. You can change/modify the
way you get emails from the mailing list by going to
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/India
and going to the section where it says
"To unsubscribe from India, get a password reminder, or change your
subscription options enter your subscription email address:"
