Found a news about a old man with 1000s of books, willing to give them
all for scanning.

I am trying to get his contact details.
If we contact him and if he agrees to give his books to us, we can
scan the public domain books and add to commons.
We need scanners, volunteers, infrastructure like computer, internet etc.
Can CIS or Wikimedia india chapter help on providing these?
With some plan of action, it will be easy to approach and explain the plans.
Please share your thoughts.
