Thanks Arjun<br>Please call me Gowri.<br>I think the deployment guide is a great starting point.<br><i><br>"Another way to help would be to help recruit and organize volunteers.<br>
Some of the immediate areas where I can see help being needed is<br>
translations and localized content. Marathi and Kannada seem the<br>
immediate needs. Amit can you please confirm ?"<br></i><br>If Amit could confirm this I could help you in two states-Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.:both in finding volunteers through my network of NGO's in the rural areas and translation into Kannada and Tamil.We have translators who work with corporates.. <br>

</div>A good thing would to help in the preparation of a deployment/pilot<br>
checklist and planning document for specific pilots/deployments in<br>
India. A good reference would be to use would be the Deployment Guide<br>
posted on the wiki<br>
<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_Guide" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_Guide</a><br>
<br>
Amit or me will soon be posting first draft of such a document and I<br>
encourage all to help in completing and refining that.<br>
<br>
Another way to help would be to help recruit and organize volunteers.<br>
Some of the immediate areas where I can see help being needed is<br>
translations and localized content. Marathi and Kannada seem the<br>
immediate needs. Amit can you please confirm ?<br>

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