"Coming Pongal Day will mark the first Anniversary of Project
Madurai! Project Madurai is a concrete outcome of many ideas that were floated
in tamil.net over the
years. It was designed to bring together like-minded souls who are keen to see
our rich literary treasures preserved and distributed free worldwide in the form
of electronic texts.
The First anniversary is an important occasion in the life history of any child.
It is appropriate time for us to sit back and reflect a bit, particularly on its
goals, modus operandi and future plans...
