I share your concern.
There is a total absence of holistic developement
in the Tamil-based internet.
I receive many emails, an average of ten-eleven
per week. I am not including the many many more
emails of a personal nature. But these emails serve as
indicators towards one thing - that the Tamil-based web
is very weak and lacking in many ways.

Regards

JayBee
