For this work, I think it's _imperative_ to get a high-quality, Indic version available for mass-distribution. But while the full, all-encompassing offline version might take 6-7 months to develop, there are bite-sized pieces we can concretely work on so we can start at least pushing some information out. For example, if we focus on "Geography" first, we could perhaps get a really good "Geography" package set-up and ready to go by the next pilot, in order to at least get a package out there - something to have a presence within the distributions. The storage space on the Aakash tablet and other low-cost devices is minimal, so a limited content package is actually fine, in many ways.
The version of Android available on the tablet could be a hindrance to display/render/input of Indic.
