Amrit Vatsa has posted a proposal for internship on his website, Vatsap. The idea is to create a research portal for India. It seems to be a joint venture of National Knowledge Commission (NKC) and IISc, Bangalore (IISc Director, Prof Balaram is a member of NKC).
Two of their research associates Vikas (who had started a rural BPO company) and Megha (specialist in Econometrics) are in IISc and having discussions with IISc students and faculty.
Next week, another research associate named Namita (IITB alumnus and Reliance Dhirubhai Fellow at the Stanford Graduate School of Business) is going to fly down to IISc and kickstart the project along with the IISc students and interns who wish to participate in the implementation. There is a high probability that the portal would be developed using Drupal, an open source content management platform (Voices, IISc newsletter, hosts its website based on Drupal).
If you have any experience with PHP or Drupal, it is time to compose an email.
