In another first for a publication in India, we ran an online forum (www.pcquest.com/content/linuxforum) inviting ideas and comments from our readers about what to include in PCQLinux 2004.

Starting off on 2003 Christmas night, the Forum ran for about two months, attracting 281 original posts and 190 follow-ups. Many software that have been included in PCQLinux 2004 are based on suggestions at the Forum. We would otherwise have missed them.

Arin Basu (suggested R-Statistical system), Vijay Patil (DigiKam), G Karunakar (Indian language keymaps), Tirukumaran (Eclipse), Deepak Kashyap (SCILab), Hunter and Yogesh are just some of those who helped make this distribution as good as it has become.

I would like to thank all of you for your contributions. Based on the success of this experiment, we are now expanding the Forum to other areas. The first of these is to provide support to this distribution itself.

Support will be provided at the same URL. May we also look forward to those using the distribution to volunteer to help the others?
