Rabi,<br>
<br>
That look great!<br>
<br>
What are you using for a content management system? I am interested in<br>
setting up <a href="http://library.sugalabs.org" target="_blank">library.sugalabs.org</a> for testing and then creating some<br>
wiki pages so deployments can benefit from your work.<br>

Our pustakalaya is built on Fedora Commons with Fez in the front end. It is a relatively static library, and we do not have the facilities for teachers, students, and users to upload their works in the library. Right now all the uploading and management is done by the staff at OLE Nepal. <br>
<br>Our primary goal was to create a repository of education materials (books, videos, maps, etc) that children can access easily at their schools. As you may know, there is a dearth of such materials in many parts of Nepal, and teachers and students have barely any reading materials outside of their course books. We do plan to add rating and uploading facilities in future, but right now, our focus is on adding more content to expand our collections. <br>
<br>You can direct technical questions to our library system developer, Sulochan (cc'ed above).<br><br>Cheers.<br>-Rabi<br>
