hi!

>>none of us are that technically competent 

have you considered the possibilities of contacting lists like:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-general

http://gnu.org.in/mailman/listinfo

http://www.tivea.net/LUG_India.php

The free software movement and indymedia has a long happy history
together ;)

There might be some helpful souls in these fora.

Just an idea....

Which software platform are you thinking of?

Good Luck!
