Students are free to do whatever they want with the code. I think the work involved is only , an opportunity to work with a production site , testing out various Drupal modules and make sure they work. If at all any original work is done students will have all the credit. And they can do whatever they want with it no strings attached. It will remain truly open source in spirit and content. > > 3.

In fact there are other projects like this running with student power and I have given letter to the institute saying they are taking part in this project. I am very pleased with the progress and more than anything else the enthusiasm and energy exhibited by the students. I also understand the limitations of students like time , regular studies , Internet access etc. Cheeers Varadarajan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
