<br clear="all">Don&#39;t look at the Commons Category, there are only 31 files there.<br><br>This event was one of the first of it&#39;s kind in India, and was an inspiration to many of us.<br>A quick glance at the talk page reveals a small fraction of what amount of Back end work was done by several of us, including me.<br>
We received a lot of FlickR donations as well. A heavy ton of this was uploaded by Srikanth L and Ganesh K. Four were done by me.
