Dear Mr. Fred,
Thanks for your view towards the project.
I do accept that the project is very much similar to that of OpenDisc but i would like you to refer the url http://opendisc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opendisc/Kiwix/OpenDisc/ .
This clearly depicts that it has not been updated from 21 months.
I hope that it's quite a large period.
" Why don't we contribute back to the Open Disc[1] project rather than
make a new one that is very similar to the original one? I'm a bit
puzzled. "
I have inherited the entire framework from this project. In fact the ideas. Thank to all those people who have did this.
Those who did some thing will always remain wid us and as an addon i adding my team and the supporters contributions.
We are also having a page for the Credits . This will contain all those who did it + the new contributors.
And regarding the name Swatantra , people have asked me over the IRC wat name i wana give to this project when i have shared this idea during a discussion. As a tribute to my nation i told as "Swatantra" - which means Independent.
This is our forum and our software freedom day ! I would like you all to suggest the new team as what the best possible. I want that you all people should feel that this should be a product from the Software Freedom International to celebrate and enjoy the Happy Software Freedom Day 2010 !
Regards,
