Yes. That will be one great advantage of Free Software since we can
localise the content for any group anywhere in the country. Not only
that, we can get the students to do part of it. Like, some schools in
Kerala have contributed pictures and sounds to gcompris in Malayalam.
Yes, and even school students can contribute to building a good useful
application for their own use, with some help from a developer. I am
sure the children will be thrilled to do that too.
