[fedora-india] fedora for kids at foss.in

Hello everyone
I think it's my first mail on this list after two yrs.
Actually I study in class 9 and would like to give some tips and ask  
some questions
Mr narendra sisodiya do you have the right to use scans or something  
like that of ncert books
If yes they should be in the distro
Ncert has not updated syllabus since 2005
Cbse updated the book style this year for making it cce compatible
And an update was last done in 2003

So what I think we should have a néw release only after there's some  
change in the syllabi

Some other things to take care of
A basic alternative (basic is a language)
A decent enough c++ IDE along with tutorials as cpp is taught in my  
class
Instead of khan academy we should request ncert professors to explain  
each and every concept in videos

Then even I may switch back to using Linux as a second distro

I wish that this project becomes successful
