Hello,

As akshay mentioned. This is to build a corpus in the structured format,
using school kids as the workforce.  It is an experimental project, we can
only comment about the quality of the corpus after a trial run.
The project is not complete yet. Please checkout the code, and if you know
python and(or) django, feel free to help


regards
