I like to add that the nun is Supaphan Na Bangchang if I am not wrong.She is a student of Lily De silva .She did edit majjhima tika mulapariyaya vagga with almost all sinhala readings on the main line.
As I have to repeat -We do not need any more new tipitaka only or with the same com and tika printed edition but we do need those lost tika like linatthadipani on patisambhida by vacisara,netti ganthi etc where it can help us to understand about misunderstood topic in sukkavipasaka etc.

> > 6. Instead of reproducing the Sixth Council version (which many scholars outside Myanmar are not too happy about), they decided to produce a new version. To do this, the project took a few years and a lot of human and computer power. Among the scholars was a nun who had learnt many ancient writings to lead the transcription work. With her help, they were able to make comparison among more than ten different ancient scripts of the Pali scriptures.
