Dear Manmohan,

Actually you're looking at the wrong place. Latest release is from May 3rd 2010 which is 3 months ago, and the one before was in March 2010 and then February before that. So that's quite an active project if you ask me.

For having emailed Chris (the project lead) in the past, I know he is very responsive and maybe getting in touch with him would help rather than start your copy of the same...

Now you seems to have inherited something... this feels strange to me, as the Open Disc project was started around 2003/4 and sponsored by Canonical at the time and no one really mentioned their names or contributions. You seem to be claiming contributions about somethings that already exist and claiming credits for it. That's not very nice.

A different perspective to your story.

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,
