Onkar.. I know that some of you guys like aanjhan,parthan,karthik,soumyadip
et al.are doing great work.. Its specifically aimed at newbies to help them
start contributing.. I know that you guys are contributing under peer
pressure at work and thats great.. I have also seen you giving answers in
the forums/answer tracker thats great.. But its specifically aimed at
students because we as students will not have any pressure or such sort of
thing.. So I thought of this idea to make an open discussion on the IRC and
have an idea pool created so as to larger chunk of the newbies/students can
contribute actively

P.S. For students: This is a generalised statement.. If anyone's
contributing to ubuntu as a student, thats great.. and please dont make this
a topic for flaming...:)
