We are lacking people to do existing works in Debian-IN some how we managed to do the ttf-indic-fonts to new fonts-* naming scheme but we don't have any one to test. Kartik is doing his best to review our work but alone its too burden for him also. We have this in TODO but frankly we don't have enough time. Do one thing create a wiki page and link it from DebianIndia page may be some one else also can volunteer. Frankly saying all these DebianUtsav should advertise Debian-IN than trying to do ruby packaging or something else. (But again its hard to find really motivated guys so we are better this way than worsening our situation trying to get more people) Best Regards -- Vasudev Kamath
