We need a bilingual website. Planet can be formed either by planetplanet
or drupal on planet.smc.org.in also we need to move our wiki to
wiki.smc.org.in from the wikia. (it is too ugly see the adverisements
and new look) . I still prefer drupal for smc-website. Joomla is too
heavy on size and it have a lot of unwanted features. Drupal is fine i
think. Drupal is also good in bilingual features. I can provide hosting
for all. More than an Installation we all need to work on content.
indictrans.in may be a good example for a simple site
