This is very promissing.

I completely agree.

I know, that is why I mentioned the regional focus.
Localising this GIS Cd would mean to have data sets which are from
the region. In your case it would be from India.
It would be a major success if we would have complete data sets
from at least the continents. Always using old ones from the USA
is getting a bit boring I guess. :)
