Irrespective of agreeing / disagreeing with other premises, I would have to
disagree with you here.

While its *ideal* if we get folks who know "Language to the purest of its
form + in and out of technology", I would lower the bar on either / both of
it for the sake of more hands. My premise is Indic has a very tiny
community, so any help is of great help and it was the same thing I talked
at WCI towards end of my talk[1] (See last slide).
