Hi Aaakash,

I just looked at your site and really liked the overall concept. However being 
a European (German) there are two hurdles for me before I'd consider using 
your site in my classes:

- I can't advise my students to create an account on a foreign site. 
- Your material is free-as-in-beer but not free-as-in-freedom.

I've no idea about your business model but I'm afraid that it's in conflict 
with my wished for educational material.

Thank you anyways for experimenting with new ways of learning!
