Open Source Drives Tata Nano Website!
,----[ Quote ]
| Even before Tata's Nano starts creating traffic jams on Indian roads, as
| claimed by many critics, Nano has given first hint of massive traffic it
| generated towards its website. The website would go off and on and you will
| be greeted by a page that says: "Our website is experiencing heavy traffic.
| Please try again a little later. Sorry for the inconvenience." The surge of
| traffic was created by the much-awaited availability of the People's Car on
| Indian roads.

| Moodle is used for online learning on some 40,000 Web sites, but UK training
