Re : upgrade

[doxa]

Thomas,
I had just been a week at IIIT, Hyderabad - http://iiit.ac.in. The faculty 
there has agreed to pool in research students and scholars there to assist in 
the development of Hurd. The doubts that the Head of CS department raised on 
its deployment and the possible target group could be left aside for a while, 
but I think the people there are serious. They are known to take up and finish 
'tasks', unlike other institutions.
Q1) How should we proceed ? 
It has been over 20 years of development. I have undertaken to do a qualitative 
study of the development during this period.
Q2) Where can I find the valid archives ?
Rgds,
CK Raju

Dear Dr Jawahar,
Here's a request coming. If there are serious researchers there, this should be 
of great help to them.

Would the people at IIIT, Hyderabad be interested in taking over the 
production of the CD and DVD iso images?  I plan to retire from this task 
within the next six months.
