What and how you can contribute (non-monetarily, non-materially)
(Note: Kindly please read and act upon the following only if your time/interest/mood/situation permits. Not otherwise. In other words, kindly read and act upon the following only on a 'voluntary' basis. Not otherwise. There is absolutely no compulsion on my part, whatsoever.)

• Kindly please read spread.php#a-kind-and-humble-request and see what best you can do. This is my first & foremost request. Some of the ways I have suggested in spread.php to spread the news of Azhagi's free apps will not take more than a few seconds of your time.
  
  
• If you can come forward to make "voluntary" demo videos/presentations/tutorials for one or more of the Azhagi free apps, nothing like that. Please see/read demos.php in this regard.
  
  
• You can provide XML files (as in https://azhagi.com/xmls) OR transliteration text files (as in anytamilfont.php). Please see ack.php#rkn in this regard.
  
  
• You can join Azhagi's Facebook Group and make new posts to share your happy experiences on how Azhagi proved useful to you and the society. Amidst my various difficulties, these kinds of posts will serve as a great and constant motivating factor for me. This will help others also to realise in what all ways the society is getting benefited through Azhagi apps. That will motivate them to spread the news of Azhagi more and more so that more and more of the society get benefited. So, please post (not as some comments for an existing post but as fresh posts). If it is not possible at all to post your testimonials in Azhagi's Facebook Group, then kindly at least email the same to me at NOBLEHEARTED @ GMAIL.COM.
  
  
• You can email me your helpful suggestions on how or in what all ways Azhagi's free apps can be enhanced. You can also report errors (if any and genuine) you encounter, to my email.
  
  
• You (esp. if you are a developer) can create comprehensive word lists for various languages (Tamil, Hindi, Sanskrit, etc.). For Tamil, using Azhagi's "I AM That Word" app, you can create the word list automatically itself. If you want a readily available word list (a large one with lakhs of words, already created through "I AM" app), then please contact Gopalan sir. He would share the same with you. The main help required thereafter will be to manually prune that world list (using "I AM" itself) so that it is 100% perfect with no incorrect/misspelt words in it. Such a world list will be of enormous help to the society once it is integrated into Azhagi apps ('I AM That Word', 'Word Finder', etc.). Expanding on the word lists, you can attempt creating a dictionary too (for various languages) using Excel or any other appropriate tool which I can incorporate in "I AM". With respect to all the aforesaid, please read hearts-and-hands.php for sure.
  
  
• You can do translations of one or more of azhagi.com's web pages into Indian languages. It would be of great help to many users. Kindly contact me at my email address (noblehearted at gmail dot com). I will let you know as to which of the pages require immediate attention in this regard. Some of the translations done by dear users are - author.php (an English translation of aasiriyar.php), https://www.facebook.com/groups/Azhagi/permalink/1551412148231673/ (Kannada and Hindi translations of a particular portion of the aforesaid 'author.php' page)
  
  
• For those of you who mail/phone me affectionately, conveying your deep wish to contribute to me monetarily:
  
  • I request you to kindly identify# a needy being in your vicinity (or elsewhere) and contribute# any amount you wish, to that needy being. Whatever you contribute to that being would be the same as contributing to me. Thanks. If at all possible, kindly email me of any such contribution# you made.
    
    
  • (#) For one such instance of a noble contribution by a kind-hearted person (Sri Ram Bommakanti ) to a needy entity (The Salvation Army), please see mail correspondence (between me and Mr. Ram Bommakanti), pasted at the end of this page. I have shared this correspondence in the only hope that it will serve as an inspiration to you, to contribute to the needy. In this connection, please see Mr Sundaram Balasubramanian's mails also here.
    
    
  • Please do not mistake my above request to mean that I am pretty rich and hence declining your contributions. It is definitely not that way. Azhagi free apps is 'SatKarma' and Satkarma never expects anything in return. So, by nature, it is so.
    
    
  • For the information of all, I do not earn anything monetarily, in any way, from any source. Of course, I do earn the invaluable love and wishes of users from across the globe.
    
    
  • And again, for the information of all, I am not funded by any entity, of any kind, to develop any of my 'Azhagi' free products.
    
    
  • In the above connection, please read motto-love-all-serve-all-help-ever-hurt-never.php, without fail.
  
  
• If you still wish to help me personally in some or other way, as of now, kindly please see (as and when your time/situation permits) the requests below, fully.
  
  • I request you to please read inno-help.php and inno.php.
    
    
  • I started using MS Office 2007 'Home and Student' edition itself only in 2014 or so. It was after its licensed CD was lovingly given to me by (LATE)Sri AK Rajagoplan Sir - editor of www.mazhalaigal.com. He gave it to me when he bought a newer Office product (Office 2013, if I remember right). Earlier to 2014, I was using only MS Office 2002, bought and given to me by my benevolent cousin brother (Sri. Raghavendra). Great if somebody could afford to provide me such older licensed CDs of Microsoft Office (or any other software product [for e.g., Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc.] for that matter) which they feel that they won't be using any longer. It will be of IMMENSE use as I have to test the operation of Azhagi+ in various versions (from the oldest to the latest) of Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, etc. Users ask queries in these software (from the oldest to the newest versions) regularly and that's why I need access to these software. So, I would be very very grateful if somebody can do this much. At least this much I can accept. As regards Adobe products, I have just used their official one-week trial versions only, so far. Tough times indeed for sincere developers like me in this world! Extremely tough. In my most humble opinion, high-priced applications such as these should be mandatorily made available for the authors of long-standing and societally immensely beneficial software like Azhagi. I have written about this in detail at inno-help.php. Those interested can read.
    
    Note-1: I have Office 365 itself, since 18-Jan-2021, thanks to a supremely loving "voluntary" offer from Dear brother Shri. Imthiyas Mohamed. Thanks a TON, Thanks a TON, Thanks a TON to dear brother. In adoration of his LOVE, ever.
    
    Note-2: I have Office 2010 'Home and Student' licensed edition too, since 2020, given to me by my dear 2nd sister.
    
    Note-3: Thanks a TON to Mr Mohanan G sir for couriering a USB-installable 'Windows 10 Home' pack in December 2019, "voluntarily".
    
    Note-4: Thanks a TON to Sri Raguveeradayal sir for gifting a 'Windows 10 Pro' key via Whatsapp in August 2020, "voluntarily". Sir told me later that he wanted to gift a Office 2019 key only (as a surprise) but by mistake ordered for the Windows 10 Pro key.

Please note

Apart from free support, etc. related to Azhagi free apps, whenever I felt it was/is possible, I have offered my help and keep offering my help, to the little extent I can - to a few different entities, in a few different ways. Please see sos.php in this regard.

Dear Vishwanathan garu:
... .. .
May I request that you kindly accept some payment from me for this software service you are providing to me? As a principle, I try not to take anything free. And now that these are spiritual slokas and poems I am collecting - I feel obliged. I can send money in whatever fashion you prefer. For example, I can send through SBI draft Indian rupees.

I request you not to think that I am trying to "buy" your noble heart - on the contrary, this would only be a token of my appreciation for your kindness to me. If you are not comfortable specifying an amount, I can send whatever Lord Siva wills - you can in that case specify your details.

I myself reside in ... but I can also request my friends in India to remit in rupees by any other means as well.

I await your directions.

Regards
Ram
