Choose your topic of interest under Astronomy and Built database for the same

We can make good compilation for any topic under astronomy. History of Astronomy is one of the topics we cover under our " Basic Course in Astronomy" It's further divided in two groups one is Western Astronomy and second is Indian Astronomy.

I feel we should start using multimedia for our courses. effective use of multimedia is only possible if we have good database on the specific subject. Its my appeal for everyone to create such database with co-ordination. so there will be less duplication of topics and we can share the links about subject/Subjects. It will definitely help us to simplified the astronomy for everyone.
