Or did you have something else in mind? If so, I'd like to know.

That's a definite requirement, one that is "proper", and moreover, "appears"
to be proper, a la the king's chief wife.
Probably the practical thing to do is to call the gentleman in AP,
and get a "go-ahead" for a limited venture for this, now. Later on,
it would be nice to establish a working arrangement with a publishing
house such as viSAlAndhra, or navOdaya for such deals. At that point, I am
afraid it may be beyond the scope and intent of this group. An
organization such as TANA/ATA/KVRAO ought to take up this project,
even if the actual mechanics are undertaken, from time to time
by interested people. The imprimature of such an entity would lend
credence to the effort, and would let people not misunderstand the
"motives" of the distributors.
Looking back at the previous paragraph, I see that I have placed
Dr. K. V. Rao on par with TANA and ATA. This is my personal, honest
opinion (of course, what else could it be?), but I think he should
be placed on a step above these two organizations which have not
done things to promote telugu and telugoose as Big Dad has done, in
very practical ways.
