[Ilugc] Creating a website or Forum for Linux users in India

[Gobinath Ravindran]

Hello guys,

I have an idea of creating a forum or some neat website for the linux users
in India to provide information on usage, and other issues related to Linux,
can any one join me in this, any idea on this is invited.

Even if some sites are there i need to make a neat site with all necessary
features so that if some one needs to use Linux in India he should visit
this site.

Regards,

R.Gobinath
