Srikanth,
The Theora (.ogv) format you are talking about, I don't think has a good quality, instead we should use Matroska (.mkv).

Subha,
What about the Indian English Community?

Noopur,
Thanks for the ideas, but one small suggestion. Format- Keep it OGV.
We can't be promoting an open project with a closed format video no?

Konark,
Good to see young brains like you volunteering on this.

Ashwin,
Can I have a link please?

Nitika & MikeLynch & some others have just begin working in this field
and a prototype video on how to create an account has been made. Imho
these efforts should be combined.

Warm regards,
