I think you are missing Atul's point here.  Atul has done quite a bit for
the popularization of Linux in India.  He is doing quite a bit now.  His
point was that it is the same old culprits who always step in to do work
that needs to get done.  No new people taking the initiative.

And he seems to be more bothered by the fact that intelligent and
experienced linux users are duelling it out here in -general talking about
licenses and stuff.  This point of Atul's I disagree with.  I know these
people and IMO they have made contributions to Linux (not just in India). 
So what if they spend a lot of their time discussing licenses?  There are
other equally active folks (at lawst count the number of subscribers was
1040) in -help who should be stepping in to do the job.

Thaths
PS: I have not offered my services in getting this done on purpose.  I want
more involvement from the community.
