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.
