> There are still many taboos around menstruation in India. Women can't visit temples or public places, they're not allowed to cook or touch the water supply - essentially they are considered untouchable.

Note that in earlier times getting water in certain region might mean traveling for miles and then bringing water home, which could be pretty heavy. Same is true for cooking, an Indian joint family could be very big (20/25 members). And cooking for the whole family in open fire is not an easy feat either. So most of household work in a big joint family could be extremely strenuous. Some of these traditions let the woman avoid strenuous work during the mensuration.

Though I am speculating here, some of the tradition indeed could be meant for the well being of the woman. It may not be very relevant in the modern world though.

It is an excellent idea. Congratulations Nitin/Sumit and all the best!

I find this site handy for clever commands: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse

Well google search has been doing this for ages. If you hover over the search results links it would show the url of the page, but if you click on that it goes to a google url which then gets redirected to the url you see. Google does this so that they can keep track of which link you clicked. Other search engine probably does the same, I haven't verified though.

A link to the canistrea.it would be helpful. It aggregats availability of movies in streaming/renting sites. Example: http://www.canistream.it/search/term/The%20Shawshank%20Redem...

Well google's guava library[1] has been on stackoverflow.com for a while and they encourage users to post question in stackoverflow rather than posing it to the google group[2].

"To get help on a specific question or problem, post a question to Stack Overflow with the tag "guava". We monitor these questions using this RSS feed.)"

This is brilliant idea and one that is perfectly executed. I would love to contribute whichever way I can and the way it brings down the barrier to contribute is remarkable. I would love to contribute in a personalized way than to donate to an organization where I don't have any clue what happened to the money. Wish you all the success!
