Hello Dr Verma

Amit is also helped by a team of about 8-9 other people who will help
him in this regard. Amit can perhaps introduce his team once on the
list ?
However, I believe that efforts from volunteers would effectively help
scale all operations as the 8-9 people team wouldn't be able to look
into all aspects of deployment at all places.

This is where your help comes in, and we hope that by doing planning
on the wiki in a collaborative and transparent sort of manner, we can
encourage volunteers to take on roles in the process and oversee
aspects.

The starting document we are referring to is the deployment guide
posted by Walter (ex - President , OLPC) here

Thank you , again, for your support. We look forward to working with you.

best regards
Arjun
