Ans : This would be my first tryst with the Open source. Aspiration comes with ability; since a last few months I have been learning python and have been working on small utility scripts for myself, for college projects. Have worked on college fests as well, And now I think with proper channelized efforts, I might actually pull off an open source project. Open source is democracy in software, and it certainly would be a privilege to contribute back to the open source community.

As stated already, the system promotes the student-teacher interaction and the student-student collaboration in a natural and instinctive way yet reduces the workload.
